8:00 am: Truck Stop in Columbia, SC with my current suk **** trucking company.
8:01 am: Phone call to potential new company.
8:45 am: Return call with invitation to orientation this Monday, if I can make it. HECK YEAH!! On my way to turn in my old truck.
1:00 PM: Phone call to Freightliner dealership to place a credit app.
4:00 PM: Approval to purchase basically any used truck on the lot.

So, to summarize:

I quit my old job and turned in my truck at 5:30 PM today.
Sunday night I head to Greensboro, NC to get ready for a $500 Paid 3 day orientation. Monday or Thursday afternoon I go pick out my new truck, next week I start my own business as a Owner Operator in the trucking industry.

x 1,000,000.00

 

Thanks, I am soooo stoked!!

 

One potential truck:

 

Used with around 540,000 miles like the pic: $38,500.
Same truck new around $115,000.

 

+1

 

I would think those things would go about 1,000,000 miles before needing any rebuilding on things...

 

ding, ding. We have a winner. Most truck engines are good for 1,000,000 or more if they are taken care of. Gotta remember, these are all highway miles at around 1,500-1,600 RPM's.

 

Yep, my uncle used to put around 1 million on his before a rebuild, which he did himself. Congrats mike. Columbia's a good place

 

I shoulda called ya.

 

yes!

except I wasnt in Columbia yesterday, was out of town with work

 

Well, I stayed at the Flying J Truck Stop at exit 70 off of I-20. Delivered some canned tomatoes to the prison, then drove to Graniteville to pick up a load of Firestone tires that I carried to Wilson, NC.

 

Nice. You give the prisoners their conjugal visit for the month?

 

No, but they sure asked when you were coming back.

 

Actually, the fender gap on that truck looks better than a stock Stang.

 

You all know I will have to do a little "Mustang Type" modification so that all Mustang owners will know the owner of the truck owns a Stang too.

 

put some mustang tailights on it, i saw a picture of an RV once that had mustang tailights

 

 

yeah i know it wouldn't really work but it just reminded me of the RV with mustang taillights.

 

hell yea! congrats dude!!! ya could rig up a running pony hood orniment. or get some mustang bumper inserts and stick'em on the truck...

 

 

Its azure blue!

needs a shaker scoop on it now.

 

Oh no, that is not necessarily the one that I am getting....but it might be.

 

hmmm i wonder if they make cobra or mach 1 wheels for semi's...

 

Congrats Mike!

First order of business should be lowering springs and a chin spoiler.
