How's it going guys? Back on here once again seeking helpful advice. A little background info, I'm leased to Landstar an got a 2012 Peterbilt 587. Old Werner truck. Hear me out, solid truck, solid engine, solid transmission. Only problem is it has all that emissions mess on it. I'm fed up with emmisions. I live in Tampa Florida and have already spoken with Peterbilt and Kenworth of Central Florida. $25,000 down can get me into something brand new. A bit skeptical about hopping into something else with all the emissions stuff on it. So if anyone has any experience of their own with the more up-to-date emissions stuff it would be greatly appreciated. If not, I have no issue taking $20,000 dollars and putting it down on a reasonable older truck and just hauling containers or live floor trailers. So put yourself in my shoes. You need $20,000, you love the company you're leased to currently and can make $20,000 easily at your own pace. Only problem is your truck. It needs constant repairs. Every time you save up 5 or $10,000, it has to be spent on another repair. So would you A) Terminate your lease with the company, sell the truck and go drive someone else's truck to save up $20,000? or B) keep the truck, continue making repairs and as slow as a lazy snail eventually save up $20,000?
