    Not surprised. Tomorrow I’m going to try to have a sit down and discuss options. This cycle of unload Thursday and reload Saturday wait til Tuesday for another load has got to come to a complete stop.

    I am about to sign on to a 3yr lease purchase deal with a Mega this week. I have enjoyed this thread so much, I wonder if anyone here would be interested in my starting a similar thread chronicling my new journey? Wickedfire has suceeded and his thread is now about the next phase: Real O/O as opposed to L/P.
    Succeed or fail I would be totally honest.
    I will only do it if Wickedfire says it's ok with him (because I don't want to look like I'm competing) and if there is any interest from the other members on this forum.
    Let me know guys.

    Just do it, but I have to warn you, a lot of the Mega l/p programs out there are stacked against you.
    I have tried at 3 of them and had no life other than the truck. Fixed costs so high you can’t go home and they keep you just above water.
    I wish you good fortune but I hope you have a good support system and an iron constitution. It’s going to get rough

    Thanks for encouragement. Your thread has been a real slice of reality. It's obvious lots of folks have enjoyed following you through your ups and downs to finally meeting your goal.
    Do you think it would be appropriate for me to start my own thread...win or lose?

    Am I crazy for wanting to trade in my clear title for a newer model?

    Yes you are as near models have major issues.
    What we plan on down the road is taking our nice great old engine out and putting it in new body. Making our own glider.

    I’m stuck in granite city getting a beer load. Supposed to be ready at 1pm. I got here early. I’m still waiting. Getting tired of unproductive days

    I wonder how much a decent body of a truck would be? Or if I’d save more getting current body work done?
    Regardless, I’ll need steer tires before the new year. And an Inframe by 2020
