I run a 1997 every day, (well 3-4 days a week) dollars and cents wise it’s really not any cheaper then running a brand new one, the difference comes in it’s easier to let paid off stuff sit, but you really have to be kind of fuked up in the head (like i and the rest of us that do it) and take pride in the truck to deal with it
I’ll never buy another used trailer though if I can help, that’s what actually takes the abuse and depreciation is nice to have

You mean like creating a false narrative to get everyone to stay home for 6 or 8 months with their faces stuck to their PC's, listening to propaganda?
Wonder how they could do that?Siinman, ProfessionalNoticer, kwswan and 3 others Thank this. -

Update, got a job up in the Barnett shale basin with an old school long nosed Pete. Same pay rate as I had at Detmar just now with a manual transmission and a much faster truck.
