It's been awhile since I posted. Have been super busy with other stuff. Anyway, the May lease-purchase is going extremely well. Iceman continues to have a 7.5 mpg usage, which apparently is right up there in the company. This has been checked and rechecked by May, and it is an accurate figure by the way for those of you who are nay sayers. Of course he stays at 55-60 range. The lease-purchase proforma is working like a charm. We knew the sales price of course and plan to pay it off in three years instead of four. For us it is a godsend. Sometimes it works for drivers, sometimes not. May has been very professional in getting the thing off the ground. ALSO, note that when Iceman was a company driver his miles sucked. He went through two dispatchers until he got his current owner-op dispatcher who is very quick and agressive. He is now getting between 3200-3500 a week. In the beginning Iceman didn't know if he was going to like May or not but now he loves it there. Changing companies frequently doesn't change a lot of things as there are so many other important things to consider. I think he will stay where he is. Happy Holidays to All!
