Is that the best you can do from two very specific posts about why a truck which is paid off still has debt? Seriously?


BTW, I didn't ask for that goofy title. TF changed it on his own. If anyone "hero worships" me, then god help them, because I'm nobody worth worshiping.

RostyC and Rev are approaching this in the right way....as a business. Rigidsporty...ya gotta look at this as a business and your business has to not only support you and your family but support itself as well... Business-101 man.

You don't replace a truck, you fix it. It's not something you throw away at the end of a predetermined amount of time.

Some people buy a new car every 100,000. Then, there are people like a friend of mine with over 1,000,000 on his Volvo. He's on his 3rd engine and kept the car in GREAT shape and fixes everything but his costs are FAR less then someone who's bought 10 Volvo's in that time frame.

Also, Volvo just gave him a gold plated medallion to replace his silver one on the front hood that he got at 500,000.

Do like I do. Shut the computer off then do a crap load of shots all at once. By the time you feel like getting back in the computer you're so sheetfaced you can't see the keys.

Jacobson says they pay 100% surcharge, but they dont say how much. What is the average?

Insurance for our trucks is $11,000 - $12,000/year but we are a Canadian carrier running stateside.

My insurance for cargo/liability/collision is $5,700

Wow, name calling, I'm impressed. You just told a lot about yourself, and your attitude.
Good Luck in your venture rigidsporty, I mean that sincerely.
