I will pay $50,000 in fuel.\n\nYOU: 125,000 miles at 6 mpg is 20,833 gallons.. times $4 You pay $83,333\n\nYOU PAY $33,333 MORE IN FUEL!!!!!\nSo I can have $3000 month payment for brand new truck with full warranty AND WE STILL MAKE SAME MONEY.\n\nMath plus good fuel economy wins!

{"replyTo":"","text":"I’m going on 2 trips this month 5k miles each trip this trip 1023 gallons on the ole 07 Volvo ole faithful. Maybe next year I would consider a new truck but it just has to make sense. I’m doing number crunching and research every day. And sense I’m going regions o/o in Cali 90% it’s just hard to wrap my head around a new truck even tho otr it would save 2200$ something a month in fuel there’s stil the price difference I’m at 20k on my truck and a new one used to be 160k not including the trailer I want from 50-100k so what’s a guy to do? Roll the dice on break downs and sensors and emission issues or stay paid cash??? Brokers don’t pay more based on equipment then there’s def so any input would be nice.  Plus once I’m a trucking millionaire I want a new w9 or Pete and at that point I don’t care about fuel. But as a Buis man having drivers I want them In Freightliner or Volvo for the fuel economy so it’s a win lose situation ","replyToPid":0}
