    Yes sir...the goal was to find a reliable truck that I can own ASAP...yeah we have a lot more newer trailers vs old ones..most of them are air slide but you'll have a few here and there where you gotta pull the pin...satellite fee is for the elogs I believe...xm radio is free. That settlement is pretty regular at 2600-3000+ Miles a week but I buy my own fuel so, keep that in mind when you look at it...

    Also, keep in mind that's a settlement doing the variable payment option...the settlement would have been more if I did fixed payments but it doesn't bother me because I want to pay the truck off

    How much do you think you spend on fuel?
    You're getting about 7.4?? So 800/900+$ a week..???
    If more than one truck there... do you get to look them over or even test drive or use it for the driving test??
    The settlement was for 2300$ if I read it right or was 1600??
    The minus signs are deductions and it looks like payoff is 8000+??
    That's since last year is awesome!!
    We'll be safe gonna be next Wednesday after Labor Day.....

    As much as as possible I stay under $1000 a week in fuel..I looked mine over but didn't test drive it coz everything is covered under warranty...settlement was $2334..the $8600 amount you saw is how much I've paid on the truck so far
     
    Kevo The Trucker Thanks this.

    8600$?? Since last may? That's like 143 a week... unless I'm missing something....
    What truck do they use for drive test?
    Orientation starts early and ends ??
    Oh since this year paid.... but that's still like 255$??

    it's been a couple of months, how're things going for you now? I talked to Paul this week, and have been trying to crunch numbers to see if it's feasible for me to do
