O/O gross-net Jan-Feb 2023

What out of warranty repair do you do at paccar?

 

That trucks been there 2 months…3 weekish?
Still haven’t found why it shows misfire cylinder 6.

They didn’t want to throw parts at Two injectiors show weaker than others. 1 and six which are same stroke, I’ve got 2 ordered

 

Paccar engine?

 

The on at KW is.2 cummins DD15 and that one. One i bought as a project because I had more time.
It’s close, just waiting on a Y for exhaust and two injectiors.

It’s an old M11, may have a valve guide sticking a bit too.

 

For the past 6 years I’m consistently grossing $240-$260k a year. I am home every weekend and work a 3 weeks on 1 week off schedule. I’ve had newer trucks with 300k miles and older trucks (1999 and 1996) and no matter what I’m spending $15-20k a year on maintenance. My advice is to grab one of these CA trucks people selling cheap. Remember a truck is a tool not an emotional attachment if it makes you money it’s good. I believe warranties are useless on newer trucks because it’s the downtime that will kill you not the repair cost. Doesn’t have to be your dream truck. I would go flatbed or reefer. I get all loads off DAT. Once brokers know you though and build relationships you get freight before it hits DAT.

As for money I’m pulling $7.5-8k gross a week working hard.
