    I have only made the Maine run once and I've been here a year now. I took meat from Tyson up and the back haul was water. As far as the Direct tv. I'm watching it right now. It's free. Also get free sirius xm radio

    I do the lease and you can't be someone that needs home time every week and make it. I usually stay out 4 weeks at a time. I cleared 2100 take home last week. Not my best week and not my worst. I'd say I average 1400 per week, but you need to put aside for taxes

    That's it. Cascading or Pro star. Well. You also can choose single sleeper or bunks. I've carried lots of loads to Mass, Delaware and Maryland. So I know lots of freight that way. They just sent us a heads up that we are going to open up dedicated tankers carrying CO2 from New Jersey to Mississippi if that interest you

    Yup. There is a ballon payment. You can either refinance on your own, pay cash or just get out of truck and go to another truck, but talk with lease people on that.

    The balloon payment is $55,000? In the end you will pay twice as much as the truck was originally worth if you end up refinancing the balloon payment. By the time you pay the truck off it will have probably 600,000+ miles on it.? So it takes 5 to 7 years to own the truck?

    Yep, its pretty ridiculous. There's always something that totally ruins these l/p plans.
