It's that time again........

Well, I will be turning 32 this year which means I have officially had the CDL A with all endorsements minus hazmat for the last 10 years of my life and some minor legal trouble. I have learned a lot in the industry and have taught my self to trade the Financial Markets to an extent and have many expensive'ish hobbies, but its now officially the time to purchase a truck. This is my Main Career after all, No Kids and Back to Single after wasting 6 years of my 20s. What else do I got? I plan on continuing to Invest in the financial Markets Long term and jumping into real estate as well. I would like the Real Estate Side of things to take over this one day so I can Retire. The goal is Passive income so I can do what I want, when I want, where I want. Early retirement in a sense....

I forgot to mention, I got 3+ Years of Switching Experience in there due to the legal trouble for a year which was Non-Class A. I will out back anyone of you, that I can promise! (Night Rider Here) I went straight back to driving with the previous Employer part time on the side the last couple years during the heat of the pandemic. My said Employer also has an Asset Based Brokerage, we are up to I think 16-18 Trailers. If you want info on the Asset Based Brokerage, DM me.

Here recently since being back full time I been running a dedicated lane getting return loads to get back home, rinse repeat. I get every Rate Con and know how much each load is paying going both ways. We will have to discuss it, but as of now I will be getting roughly 75-80% of what the load pays.

I already obtained my LLC and all paper work, but I am throwing the truck under my Boss Mans Authority for cheaper Insurance, Fuel Discounts, automatic deductions etc..... It's less I have to deal with! I just gotta do the Quarterly Taxes and Pay my Self. I can focus on delivering the loads, fixing and driving the Behemoth. We have Tools in our Garage I can use, but here the past two months I have started a larger collection of my own, just to throw in the truck! Major repairs will go to the shop. I can also hook up to any ECM out there. I have all the software for Cheap, don't bother asking how I get that unless I get a cut! I am one of the fortunate people who have the Advantage to jump in a Company Truck if my Truck is being worked on and get paid as a regular company Driver. Yes, I got that type of Luxury with my current employer and friend.

Anyways....


Call me crazy, buts its a 98 Kenworth W900l - Recently painted - not the best of paint jobs
Total is $81,000, I'm putting down roughly 21k Cash - Payments are high - 3500 a month for like 22 Months

Truck has 1.4mil Miles - 526k Miles on the ECM

I do not ever plan on selling this truck and if I do, the original Owner of the Truck will be First Priority!!!

Oil Sample Was Pulled, Need to run another oil sample after I change the oil in about 4k miles, Iron Level was high - 190ish. My Mechanics Concern was Crank could be going, Cam shaft is new so I doubt its that. She has a lot of compression though and with the recent overhaul I think she should be fine. I'll be building a 60k Emergency Fund right off the bat and may even buy a second motor with the same specs and throw in storage.

Needs new Drums & Shoes in the front in about 50k miles - 75% Tread Life on 24.5s -
Minor oil Leak/Drip Near the Fuel Pump. Small Seepage on the oil pan, Driver Side. I may need a new gasket and hardware to address that, will try to tighten bolts first. She is practically RUST FREE all around, even under the Cab. Block has some Minor Chipped Paint which is expected, no serious Rust issues anywhere on the block. Very Clean!

New Kingpins
Spindles
Brakes (Rear)
Drums (Rear)

"EDIT" I forgot to mention, all new VIT Interior, 2 Brand New Legacy Seats.

All New LED Lights and after market Headlights, Brand New Water Proof Floor, Vinyl Wrapped Dash. Their was an Issue with the A/C Not functioning, but apparently it was low on Refrigerant so the clutch wasn't engaging and they fixed that issue, but in the future for 3 grand I'll drop all new AC Lines and Components. Needs new Clutch Linkage at the Fire Wall $75.

I pull light loads on my dedicated runs, -15k at Most, but typically around 12-13k. Return trips are the 41-43k Loads. Previous owner of the Truck had an Over Weight Permit and was pulling 90k Lbs on the Regular with it. Driver said he was getting 5mpg/5.5mpg with the truck and running steep hills and mountains. I'm not worried about spending a bit more on fuel personally, because I like to get where I am going and I'll look better doing it... If that Cost me XXXXX Amount of dollars each year then so be it! I'll pull them high dollar loads when I find them too also to compensate for it. I can always Tune the Truck and have her run more fuel Efficient if I wanted seeing as I also have that option.....


End Goal - Fully Functional Working Show Truck! I got a list of parts and things I want to do to her already...

Pictures soon!
