    Sounds like the after effects of a. "Good night" playing with the band back in the day.
    Hope you are back on your feet soon.

    My thoughts exactly. These trucks they're slaving for are junk to begin with. By the time they own it, it's ready for the boneyard.
    And to think I paid $33,000 for my Peterbilt and take home like $3000 a week after fuel and other operating expenses. I make the money off my truck not some company.

    Or maybe they just don't exist. Perhaps you'd be wise to heed the warnings from the many that have failed.

    You're kinda late to the party aren't you?
    Quoting posts from 2 yrs ago to prove it's a failed venture? Yet here I am...still going.
    Did you bother to read beyond the first few pages?
    Maybe you caught my tyrade about your exclusive club your a flag waving member of? (The ALPC )
    Just hammer down to 80 mph in a 55 zone like you know you want to and start your own thread about how old Pete's are maintence free and don't cost a dime if they break. (That's a big IF, cause we all know a Pete will will get out and push itself to save from being seen at a shop)

    Maybe if you'd read on, you'd have seen that I do pretty well here. 2 weeks ago I had a 4 wheeler run a stop light and hit my front end. Other than time off, do you know how much it cost me to get repaired on this ripoff deal?
    (I was able to drive it to the shop )

    Before you start swinging that gavel, maybe you should get all the facts .

    For anyone keeping score; do your due diligence. Decide for yourself. We have very few real freedoms left, don't ask me to tell you whether leasing with my company is good or bad. Take the power and put it in your own hands.
    I never said "everyone should do this!" It's just worked out for me so far.

    There's always some guy with an old truck bragging about his money and how much you suck . Ignore it
