    Haven't posted numbers in a while...

    Short week for me. Two days worked, Tues and Wed, 4 loads pulled...

    $2117 in revenue on 700 miles driven...

    I'll see $1000 of that, fuel was bought in the last pay period....

    And on the pay period ending yesterday I did $6200 revenue on 3500 miles, getting about $3400 of that....

    The two weeks before that, when I took my trip down to TX and back I got $900 and $600...

    So for the month I made about $6000...

    Taking a week or two off. My 16 yr old daughter is coming up to meet me in NYC for a few days. It's her first time seeing the city. Then we're coming to the house to hang out.

    Fun times.

    Roll on....

    Not sure I'm 'killing it', but I'm quite satisfied with what I'm making and how I'm making it....

    On a completely separate note, my lease is up in 10 weeks and I am trying to figure out what to do next: lease a new truck, buy a used truck, lease a used truck, etc etc etc...

    I was leaning heavily toward purchasing a used truck, but now I am leaning towards leasing a new 2016 FL. My lease rep gave me a nice quote on one with that new DT12 automated manual transmission (ATM) and I'll pay the $1800 for the diesel APU.

    I am just scared of purchasing a used truck.

    And I don't want to upgrade to the KW.

    But I'm just not sure yet.

    Indecision blows.

    Roll on....

    I heard they'd make a killer deal on a used blue Cascadia with only minor computer glitches

    I can do a 1 year lease or a 3 year lease...

    Or lease for 1 year and then renew for another 2....

    The price difference in doing a 3 year lease versus a 1 year/renewing for a 2 year is $572 total!...

    Seems like the 1 yr/2 yr is the way to go...

    How do the prices on the Cascadia compare to what you could get through Lone Mountain?
