    Couldn't tell you, Dave. My company's been paying for it since before I started here.

    If I was going to become a broker, I'd make a power move when I get a few more trucks, and take away some peoples customers here locally. I have a hunch we could provide a really good service.

    Maybe I even will some day, doubt it though, just don't have that kind of energy anymore, but you never know.

    If I were going to go big around this business; I would open a repair shop. There is a lot more money in fixing these monsters than there is in operating them. Plus, good mechanics are much easier to find than good drivers, at least where I live that is true.

    I disagree with one small part of that. Mechanics are not easy to find . Now all you can find are goofballs who can't tell the difference between their ####### and their elbow. If the laptop doesn't give them a diagnosis then they are completely lost.
