    My point is that not.having a payment does not.mean you're in the land of milk and honey. Rebuilding will still cost you more than a couple nickels, and if you don't have cash then you're still paying interest.

    Also who in their right mind is going to rebuild a Dd15 or mx13?

    Even a rebuild at 1 million miles still leaves a chassis with 1 million miles.

    But even with no truck payment you still need to save.

    Only way I see making real money is truly as an O/O and multiple trucks and great drivers.

    Yea that's what I saying.. With your own truck not leasing you can make more money as a company driver anyday of the week

    Overhaul will run you 26-27k... That's a 600-700 month payment if financed.. You're still way ahead of the game.. And I got almost 500k with def on my dd15 and it's giving me no problems.. None.. But I have a 2012 and in my opinion that was the best year for dd15 not having issues
