    I have been trying to get a load out of Roanoke VA area this week but not looking good. I had a fill in coordinator last Friday when I got my truck out of shop and boy was she a doozy.
    A couple loads cancelled and today my daughter was sick with migraines but still couldn't get on load board.
    I hope I get out of here soon I am going nuts sitting at home and I am anxious to see how the new to me truck is going to do.

    Kinda up to you, you can pay off the trailer in 5 years and have more to sell ,it does cut out any of the drop and hook ,and if you decided to leave take the trailer you are pulling with you ,good luck in all your adventures

    I need to be slapped, I'm already thinking of buying a new truck... Maybe after I see how my bank account starts looking without having to write that $1450 check monthly, my mind will change and I'll keep my current for awhile.

    Im happy to have a truck payment to be honest. I was paying the same amount i was in repairs on my last truck each month. I haven't really had an major issues with this truck. Just catching up on the half million mile Maintenance that company's won't do lol. If you looking at a truck i would buy it from MHC just because you can get them to do anything for repairs really. But they do ####ty inspections imo to try and get out of fixing things the right way lol
     
    JonJon78 Thanks this.

    What drop and hook? I did 3 drop and hooks the whole time I was there and 2 of them were rescues. The one rescue I picked up a Mercer trailer and it was junk compared to the one I was pulling and the actual drop and hook I did the trailer had a flat. One rescue was the driver's trailer so I had to take it back to him. A guy is better off getting his own trailer if it's cheaper than Mercer's trailers with tag and insurance included.
     
    JonJon78 and I glide 47 Thank this.
