Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

That's a lot of oil in 12k miles.

 

Really? I've got news for you Whipper, if you and I pull into the Freightliner dealership with the exact same problem; I'm paying cash, you're working off a warranty, I can PROMISE you, I'll be rolling before you are. To somehow justify paying $850-$1000 a week and make it sound like you got the better deal is absurd. Here's the deal, bub, I just put on a new set of steers.....$800. Guess what? Next week when you're making that $800 payment, I won't be.
Look, I'm not hatin' on the SNI finance thing, it worked for me and I encourage it. But to suggest that leasing a truck is better than owning a used truck is absolutely ignorant and defies any sort of business sense. Here's the raw numbers, Whipper......you're doing basically $900 a WEEK in payments......that's $46,800 a year. I could replace EVERY SINGLE NUT AND BOLT on this thing for less. Jeez.........

 

yeah it is. I'm about a gallon per 10k

 

If you're only using one gallon in 10k miles, that's not bad. The way you wrote it, it looked like you were putting in 4 to 6 gallons between 12k mile changes.

 

no, that's Rickeybobby

 

Fixed that for you.

 

2006 867k mi. Had it for 6 years.

 

I was using 4 to 6 gallons for years. Truck was running great , no real issues. The reason I got the inframe done. Coolant was in the oil.
