    I think you know that going home kills miles no matter what. This past week was only 2200 for us week before was less because hubby was home. But I know what you are referring to also. Timing is everything in weekend loads.

    I’m looking at getting a used truck through SNI. My problems are that I think they will try a bait and switch to try to get me to lease on to Schneider choice fleet. We will see

    As long as you have the staying power to insist on getting what you want you should be fine. Don't let em jerk you around. This ain't your first rodeo. Let's believe for us both doing great!

    I’m thinking I’ll get my current truck up to stuff, so that it has a bit more value, then trade/sell it for a newer model with all the amenities I would like. It also gives me time to build up a higher down payment.
    I kind of hate the idea of payments again, but I do like the idea of newer parts and working interior electrical outlets. (Sad reason to burden myself with another payment, I know)

    Who knows, maybe after I get this thing up to a higher standard, I’ll like it enough to keep trucking with it.

    You know you will like it. Nothing feels as good as knowing you earned it.

    It’s all smiles until you have to fix or replace something every week. Even the little things add up.

    Just like anything you own that is major. There's always up keep. Preventive maintenance is key. But things break and bulbs blow. Just like a house.

    Read "I'm going to buy a used Schneider truck" by Johnnyman1099. Some information in there that may be valuable that they don't immediately tell you.
