Our 1st trip is 773 miles and 1250 to the truck. That includes the fuel surge. Not bad.

This was a less than 5 mile DH to load and we are preplanned to load out of the baltimore ports friday.

$1.61 a mile is pretty good! Is that a percentage lease with them? What does that come out to, 70% or better?

Oh sure, and I suppose your tarp fits the load exactly and requires no straps and doesn't flop around like mine....NOT FAIR....I wanna a do over.

I looked at Diamond's Web site, they look like a good outfit. Do they run all over or just the midwest?

Two things to consider, if you make payments above what is on the coupon book, write a seperate check with the notation apply to principle, and make sure your balance reduces accordingly. This will also lower your interest charges. Second where are the pictures of the HAPPY OWNERS standing next to of this fine lookin machine. Don't forget the inside shots too.
