    Including the DH, not sure, either there or real close. Did $102,685.34 to the truck as of yesterday (payday). And that settlement was for a trip that ended the 2nd of July. Still one trip hanging out there. That number is after LS cut, and all overhead except fuel, truck payment and maintenance.
    My truck payment is $245 week. I budget $250 for maintenance and repairs weekly. Last year I spent about $ 6400 on truck including new steers, centramatics, alignment, shocks, front drive axle brakes, passenger steer hub and rim, one slack adjuster, a new DPF, clutch fan fixed, 4 full PM's.
    Spent about $2500 on APU, and just had the whole system rebuilt except the engine, New alternator, compressor, high pressure hoses, belt, fan coil, dryer, condenser, PM.

    Currently leaving Monday 300 miles @ $5.35 mile. Then 1,032 miles @ $4.48 mile Then 1,134 miles @ $3.34 mile will return me back to Phoenix in 6 days. Probably 260 DH miles in there, unless I find a filler. My trip out of Phoenix got AFU about 3 hours ago, so had to form new one. Original one would have had about 220 miles of DH unless filler ( short haul ) came up.

    Some of these, even though I use a company van, because of the accessories I will get 78% to 82%.

    That is just so unfair. You know we don't label on my thread.

    I started to add all my fuel up, so I can give my income to everyone, but you interrupted me. Now I might just say the heck with it and drink a beer. Already had a New York & a baked potato.

    You gotta PM me your 20 in a few weeks. Now that I got my APU back I'll head for the south and Midwest. Didn't want to stray too far until then. Cause I know myself, something good will pop up when I'm back there, and off I'll go.

    You'd think TK that made what, a million of those freaking APU's would stock everything. DENIED. Had to wait for the condenser. Dude had the rest all together hoses on, just had to unbolt, then bolt on new one up top, connect hoses, charge system. Works as advertised. Cats will be very happy.

    bro.....just snagged a $3.50 1250 mile load off the Schneider board......I'm pretty sure I've entered your alternative universe. And I'd like to say one thing, "Hi, my name is Lou".
