Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Someone grab the banhammer before this sickness spreads!

 

Oh goodie, looks like I’m forced to pay cash again because these nimrods don’t trust that I can pay my bills in the US as a Canadian.

 

Who's "we"?
If "we" are the new truck owners, then excitement is not expected until 4 dol per mile on 2000 weekly miles is attainable.
For others, 2.5 is better than 2.0.

 

At $2.5 per mile, and 8000 monthly miles, you can still make it work with over $4000 payments but the third of your work will go toward the loan installment and insurance.
You are still left with about $8-10k after fuel, which may look exciting for a novice company driver - some experienced drivers make that much already form their CDL jobs - but this isn't all the money that you can spend on personal needs.
The worst thing to realize, is that this workload must be sustained for the most of the 60 months straight.

 

I agree, sauerkraut shouldnt be wasted on such a despicable thing as sausage...

(Since i was 8, i just have a nausea response to anything that smells remotely like sausage, one of very few foodstuffs i wont eat to this day. beats me)

 

Maybe there are...
I simply disagree with the idea that a dream truck purchase would require me to change the sweet spot lifestyle, I found for myself. I wish that how I run could could afford me such an impressive equipment ... but the equipment is supposed to be a means to an end, and not the end in itself.

 

Have you ever heard about "Bigos"?
I make it every other week during winter time...

 

What's in it ?

 

Mostly, sourcrout stewed with sausage, chunks of pork, beef, mushrooms...you can add dry plums and some red wine for the royal taste...
