saving to be o/o

Imagine that big new truck payment thinking I could have purchased my old truck six times by now. Heck, could have a fleet.

 

$20k cash for my truck. $1856 for base plate. $2100 annually for bob tail (I added collision and collateral). To date I have spent $15k for repairs and maintenance,.. that includes tires, PM/Lube services etc. Not counting fuel,.. thats it.

I'm having about $6000ish worth of work done to the truck when I go home for Christmas. Truck should be ready by mid Jan. So I will enjoy the break from the road. Some of its needed work, new brakes and batteries. But having some other things done that should help with fuel economy. Replacing injectors, new mufflers, rebuilding the air compressor and fixing the oil leak. Then having some 'mods' done,.. tuning the motor for 500hp, getting the fuel temp mod done and a couple other things on my list. Hoping to finally bump over 6 mpg as an average. Currently in the 5.5 - 5.8 mpg range. I was in the 4.5 - 5 mpg range when I first got the truck. Its an 04 BXS 435hp ACERT C15. So I dont expect any miracles,.. and even if mpg stays the same,.. I'll still make money.

I put over $50k in repairs on my former truck in 14 months. Screw that, I got me a 2014 pete 579 now with all the bells and whistles and I'm getting a tripac evo installed next month.

 

Consider me jealous

 

I'd love to have a 579. Mad respect for you brother.

I want more cash in the bank before I make a move like that.

$50k in repairs and I'd be looking to set this thing on fire.

I just went O/O last march. I'm still getting my feet wet so to speek. That and I think you just want to be a solo O/O correct? My long term goal is to get out of the seat.
