    I got 160,000 out of a set of BF Goodrich and I still had 6/32. That's with a lot if city driving and centramatics that went bad. Only reason I changed out was I wore out the outside of one of the tires and had a bad shimmy at 67-70 mpg. (Partly because the centramatics went bad)

    I think I could of gotten another 10-20,000 on those tires. 250,000 would be a stretch, but I can certainly see getting 200,000 if taken care off.

    Ya but that rate is ridiculous even for being that far south.

    250 might be a stretch but i plan on 200k to 220k. This will be the third set to go that far.

    If you can get the same rate back, that's workable. won't be getting rich but there is enough for a modest profit. I can make money at a buck sixty. But it requires more work than i like. I'm a lazy man.

    Well..... I decided to move on. Just talked to my ICA and told him my intentions. Leaving in two weeks.Overall it's been a good ride and learned alot. Have know idea of what I'm doing is right or wrong but if nothing else will be another ride and learning experience. Decided to quit complaining and listen to my own words and do something about it. Will follow this thread and chime in from time to time. After all this is the thread that just keeps on giving.:) Until next time, Good luck fellas.

    Actually I thought about that. Found a 300 truck o\o company. I will be dispatched through brokers. Goes against everything I believe in. Lol. Being treated as a adult in return will be nice. We shall see.
