    Don't know yet, but it will be at least $10k for a swap, if I find another used engine and $25k for a reman.
    I already bought another truck and still have not decided yet what to do with a broken one

    What year and model truck is it? If you were to sell it with the blown engine how much do you think you would ask for it?

    I second changing your plan with Verizon. I have a mifi hotspot from them that I've had for about 9 years now but to be honest I rarely ever use it anymore and I don't even think they sell those mifi's anymore. I use my smartphone for 99% of everything done online from booking freight to route planning or whatever. The laptop gets used as my logbook and that's it. So unless somebody rejects my phone scanned document and requests a regular scan from an ordinary printer/scanner it would probably never get turned on. I probably need to upgrade to a more modern printer/scanner that can Bluetooth with my phone and can eliminate the hotspot.
     
    Bean Jr. and Kbhairo Thank this.

    So with that being said what are your thoughts of leasing onto a company?

    Ummm well I hear it’s the way to go when starting out . I’m gonna just jump right in and start with my own authority. I just would rather work on my time and not be obligated with paying them weekly for tags insurance etc . It’s ok for others but I’ve been working for people for so long that it’s time for my own company and my own thing . I can manage through the 90 day fresh authority deal . That’s why I’m still working for this company and just saving money while updating my truck. Any advice on starting a carrier packet ?
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    @DUNE-T, I'm waiting on the exciting conclusion. Is this one of your Volvos?
