    '07? Practically brand new by my standards. I went from a '98 to an '02 and thought I was king of the road. You must have some deep pockets Oldog.

    I am starting Monday. This is my first time doing lease purchase. Any suggestions, or ways to educate myself about being successful.

    Don't go home the first big ck you get. Your payments are every week. What state are you from? And what area are you wanting to run?

    Follow the business plan you laid out that guided you into making the decision to start your business and partner with CRST ... Track your plan's KPIs, then develop your action plans accordingly to maximize your efficiency.

    I am in Kentucky. And I will run 48 no problem. Well not a fan of the northeast lol. But I will run it if the money is right.

    I did quite a lot of research before I decided to go with Malone. I liked the idea of picking my own loads instead of being force fed by the company. And I liked the idea of being able to go outside of the company if I need too, to get a load. Its is the best idea for me and time because I have very little home bills to worry about.
