    No telling. The markets so crazy right now. Old authorities are worth something apparently. I guess because an older # gets less attention on the road from DOT. Also maybe because more Brokers are requiring experience to book Loads. For whatever reason, they’re sought after. I’ve been told, the only way to make it work, for insurance savings, is to add the buyer, as a Partner for a year, then separate from them. I don’t know what’s true or not. It’s so hard to say. She definitely doesn’t want any part of that. A turn key package deal, with the authority as a bonus should be very desirable. Lot of folks finance T/T together especially when it’s a Reefer for some reason. One pymt instead of two I suppose. Crazy money burning holes in pockets right now. My Neighbor just sold a 97 Classic, with a brand new $42k engine and extra work for $70k. Trucks only worth half that normally. Makes me want to sell mine. I’ve had all the same work done to mine. Only it cost Me 20k. He’s been trying to prove his is better, Lol. He got a reman from a renown builder, with 2 yr warranty. Guess we’ll never know if my engine lasts as long as his. What yr KW? What model? What Reefer? A Reefer at this time of year will sell very fast, for market price. Doesn’t matter what kind, or age. I hope She gets top dollar. Sorry for her Loss. Never a good time to die. That’s awful. Beware of the Vultures.

    The Chicken thing reminds me of my nefew. He was born with a tendon defect. He walked on his toes, often with leg braces.Had about 6 surgeries each time they cut and stretched his tendons. One trip to Grandmas, he got chased by a Rooster!! Thus Kenny the Rooster nickname was born. At 13 yrs old, he was the fastest runner in his school!! A real life Forest Gump. Now he’s 21, and walks normally. Good Kid, used to always go home with some of my favorite toy cars and Trucks. He was quite the Trader. Taking advantage of his soft Uncle. Lol.

    8A80C309-A0F5-4338-9775-D3C1D7ECC6E8.png 17 yr old kid at the gas stations car. Makes the payments himself. He had a Hemi Charger paid off, now this!!! My Dad always wanted a Vette. Every couple of years, we’d go look at them. He’d say, Son if it were just Us, we’d get one. But we have Grandma and the girls to take care of. My 10 yr old brains thinking, Man! I wish it were just Us!!!

    Pfft. Rates are good and they always stay good. Dont get a vet. Get the AMG with the V12 in it. Fast sedan. Sub 12 second 1/4, I'm sure it's stock. :rolleyes:

    She was upset.
    I told her it could’ve been worse, at least that lady had her clothes on.
    She outta know I could care less..
    In a couple years, maybe less if life follows suit, he’ll be out running around.
    At least I told him, don’t be like me, stuck working hard all your life and spending your younger years raising kids.
    Do what you want to do when your young, raise kids later, I didn’t have anyone to tell me that.

    I used to think, when I get older, I’d like to go see the Patton museum, even maybe get passport and go to Zell am See Austria
    The Zell am See – Kaprun region is famous for alpine skiing and snowboarding and boasts 62 slopes stretching over 138 kilometres.
    And maybe even Berchtesgaden while there.

    But.. after working I’m usually not in the mood for another road trip, let alone across the globe, but I’d like to go.

    I think better is a safer buy a Vette

    The current (and last) Mercedes-AMG V12 engine is a force to be reckoned with with six liters capacity and two turbochargers. Set to become a legendary engine in its own, AMG's V12 makes an impressive 630 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque.Mar 14, 2019
