    If you use a $155,000 purchase price it's around a 13.5% rate. @ $145,000 it's a 15.5% rate.

    Didn't someone just buy a Western Star, they would know what current rates are. I think new trucks are under 7%.

    Well I called logs today about being a minute over on my 11 hours of drive time and she didn't change it. Said its drive time and wasn't willing to fix.

    I also took the southern route through New Mexico from Portland to Texas. Very pretty in NM, CO and southern Utah

    I can't wait for my skateboard to get there so I can start learning the lanes and Mercer way. Spoke to Gary today and still no word on when it will be in. #### getting itchy. This US Xpress experiment is going really really bad right now. Hope to meet all you guys and learn all I can from you.
     
    CJndaTruck Thanks this.

    I would've just told her I had to find a safe haven. End of discussion.

    I told her I was parking, which was the truth. You don't always get right to a spot in a lot......

    I learned a few things since then. I sit for five minutes to make sure my cargo check stays on duty, then goto off duty then drive. That day I didnt, one of my first days using elogs.
