    I am not saying all lp planes are set up this way but most are set up for the guy with bad to no credit or not enought money down. Witch to the investment world means high risk so high returns you know who pays that also from what I understand (but not positive) lp plans are not loans so paying them off dose not improve your credit rating. Now I have have a good credit score (747) and have never owned a truck but with $10,000 down and a letter of intent for work from mercer I was able to sign my name for a $74,000 truck 52 payments at 1,540 a month

    With that said there are a lot of guys out there who have no problem making it work with lp trucks they know there cost, what they have to make and know how to set money aside for slow freight times. They probably have less breathing room then I do but they plan for it. Personally I would recommend like any new business have plenty of start up capital above initial cost for unforeseen problems

    Anyone ever had to deal with Algae in your fuel? Would that make my fuel a dark green? My clear bowl the filter is black n it's less then 6,000 miles old.

    When I say 635 I'm including escrow and that's the brand I'm talking about. I pay 535 with escrow
