    FW.... See.. I know you made statements in the past about getting a new truck because you didn't want to deal with the hassle of a used truck because the new one comes with warranty well as you're finding out a new truck and give you just as much headache as a used one... We just gotta face it Vehicles made now a days are nowhere near the quality as they used to be it seems that manufacturers are more worried about quantity than they are quality but at the same time a lot of these fleets want their trucks they want them quick... Well you can't have quick and quality in the same sentence when it comes to a manufacturing the vehicles

    So whats the answer?
    That all trucks suck?
    You cant even lease on an older truck here, theres an age limit right?

    $150000 new trucks shouldnt be breaking down all the time.
    Even at Crete in training that truck was just a few months old and was having def issues and power loss.

    It's fun to read the first pages of a thread then skip to the end. Wow and it's only been a year. Don't you have a few more years on the contract? If you get burned out on the lease/owner op thing. Just remember at CRE the wheels be rolling!!

    Roll Tide!!!
