    Yep, I was looking at threads on here for getting own Authority. Nope not going to deal with all that paperwork. I am too old and can barely deal with bills now. All that would be way too much. Not my idea of fun.

    I'm a regional driver for the next 4 loads so I can get home in time for my BBQ event. I "should" be home Friday night. But Saturday morning is acceptable.

    I don't know; says they help you buy a tractor that's 0 - 5 yrs. old if you don't have a tractor. I guess it's worth a phone call.

    Maybe. My 05 Columbia seems to do well and I do like life without a payment. Eventually I'll have to get another truck as all things must end.
    I can get them on the horn and see what it's about.
    Bad Axe is in the thumb kind of out of the way
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Maybe they'll take your truck; not having a payment is nice. Then again, a newer truck with APU etc. is tempting probably.

    So they have no trucks older than 2013. Which means they all have DEF and are California component.

    They are Brokers. They don't do leases. Have brokers in 6 states.
