They always paint a rosie picture for you but you are the one with the payments and all the problems . I had my owen for seven years and was lucky that i only lost 15000 to get rid of it . Today with the high cost of insurance and fuel and all your road taxes most of what you make goes back to the truck in one form or other just when you think that you have some bucks in the checking account it needs something and just about everything is a grand or more and you are ahuling for less then we got for the same freight back in the 70's and 80's and everything is three or four time as much . Drive tires use to cost 180 buck a tire now they are getting colse to 400 and it need s 8 and if you are planing to pull a dump trailer it's hard to get them insured and if by chance it falls over and plays dead you'll get dropped.
