I don't normally get into these squabbles, but...if you can make close to the same money being leased, you'd be a fool not to. I'd love to hear why it makes more sense to have your own authority for the same money.

Trailer costs? IFTA? My pump taxes normally take care of my IFTA.

Your permits taken care of?LOL. L S overcharges for their permits by almost double. IF you get it yourself and pay cash outright in a state other than IL. the cost is around 1300-1500.00.
Really? What state can you get an 80,000 lb plate in for $1300 - $1500?

Hate to burst your bubble Rev. Vassago, but there is just a " little bit " more involved than filing a " paper " and " paying a fee".....

What else is there? Do you also have to start a thread on CAD called "From desk to own authority"?
