    Another great thread started Diesel, it has been great reading about your start as company to present over the last couple of years.. Awesome job! I can relate about the negativity when going to IC, had same thing myself. Over the last 24 years I have been hearing about how bad lease programs were.. but with SFI while doing my extensive research couldn't see that.. The whole thing just makes sense the way SFI has set it up, especially for truckers just starting out. Congrats on the new (new to you) truck and best of luck!

    Well believe it or not she passed with flying colors.. Just gotta have that plate welded on so $235 is the only damage. The mechanic told me I did good.... The 5 trucks he did yesterday - not one of them passed DOT. I'm friggin thrilled. Time to get some sleep before they weld and then more once they're done. they're gonna try to squeeze my road test in tomorrow... Hopefully that will happen.

    Weather will be even crazier come January. Hasn't been any real winter storms in the Midwest yet really, just one at the beginning of November that hit northern wisconsin and Minnesota. Plus 4 wheelers drive stupid all year long anyway.
