Well. I spent about an hour on the phone with the aforementioned Dave Stremick. Personally I liked him. I think its probably a good deal for a younger person. I think I'm too old. Its really geared to younger drivers and I would not spit on it. Here is the letter he sent me this afternoon.

Me? I'm too old to lock in on a four to five year contract.

 

I asked him how much I would bring home each month. He said if I push 12000 miles a month I would bring home about 4,800 a month. But then I would also have to deal with income tax

Other than a nice truck.... What do you think?
