    Hearing u have 135000 to spend I assume your not a experienced driver. So lets see your going to buy one of the biggest,longest most expensive trucks availible w900l I assume and jump in it green? That is one of the most diffucult trucks to maneuver even for veterans. And to put back 80k in three years your going to have to drive the piss out of it and at 1.10 a mile well that makes it worse. For 135k I could put atleast 5 good trucks on the road and have some money left. I would say go get u a 25000 dollar truck there are some very nice ones out there 4 that right now and see how u like it. I agree with the others if u were doing something that allowed u to retire at 40 with 135k on hand I would go back to them for another 20 years. I can give u a guys # that i just got off the phone with that sat and waited till 6oclock yesterday in ga to get loaded after he arrived at 8am then had 2 drive from ga to chicago but couldnt find a slot so pulled the whole thing last night made 2 drops this mourning and is picking up as we speak these loads paying 1.50+ permile and I have been running like this a long time "more then 3 years" and never have had 135000 bucks on hand. Think about it.
