    No offense intended but by the sounds of the OP's post he or she sounds as if they have it all figured out. Especially with the boasting of how he or she can out back all of us an promising that fact. Didn't much sound as if the OP was asking for advice. So my unwanted advice is Go Big or Go home. Have fun an be sure to stop back by an see us when Murphy's Law bites ya in the rear end!!!!!

    Pretty sure they would go out of business if they GAVE him the truck. 1.4 million on it? No way

    81K for a truck that needs a lot of work??? You are not crazy, you are half stupid.

    I bought a POS FLD blindly in 2021. Paid almost nothing for the truck. Between engine rebuild and everything I replaced I got 60K in the truck. I owe nothing. It wasn’t easy and I had the fortune of great freight rates to help me along.

    completely different story now.

    You have your mind made up. I won’t say good luck because that won’t help when you are doing it wrong from the get go.

    And that “special friendship” with your employer. Well, that’s not guaranteed. You are too naive, too optimistic, and too broke.

    I think he bought the pos already. Probably won't hear back from him. Sad though, it would have made for an interesting read.

    If ya can believe the hype, I don't believe according to the OP that he or she is broke. Don't forget he or she brought up that they are well invested in something to do with the market and is leaning toward having or wanting a wealthy future in the real estate business. Sounds like they have a 100% lock on their financial future. Hope my sarcasm is obvious ! Lol lol
