And a new pair of gloves to wear so he can grip the rug as he pulls it out from under your feet.Nothing quite like buying a banker another three piece fart bag to wear.
What model is this? Pic was taken in 1956
I am pretty sure that is a special high capacity cooling option. There were T800's with that hood. There was also a hood that had the same slope as a standard T800 but was wider, with single headlights.
That is a T800B Straight Cowl Split Fender, most are special order. Extra capacity cooling system.But I've never seen a t-800 set back axle with a hood like this one.
you betchaQuit stalling, the price probably goes up everyday. A few more years of inflation and that will be the price of a yohoo and a candy bar. Banks gots plenty of $$$$. Uncle Sam's got your back and the bank's. Its a no lose proposition. Spending money you don't have- its the American Way.
Or- just get those patents done on the loadamower and watch that money roll in......
The only thing standing between you and that KW is you. Think positive. Go dig those mason jars out of the back garden. Toss the old lady off the mattress and get at that secret cash stash. Turn in those bitcoins you've been hoarding.
Really petepilot- its people like you that are holding back the american financial system.
A fact-the Pete in petepilot's avatar is 10 times the truck that W900 A Kenworth ever was
or will be.
And I like KW's.
Hey, I am that guy farting around hauling my own stuff . . . as far as I am concerned, the trucking business isn't for anyone. At least not anyone who wants to make any money.
I don't know anything about OTR, except that I lose my mind staring out a windshield for more than a few hours at a time, I don't like living in a doghouse, and I have a wife and kids.
But dump trucking, how about that? I am supposed to go out and spend $300,000 on a truck, and then run the wheels off it for $115/hour.
20% down on 300k: $60,000
$240,000@6.5% for 60 months: $4,700/month
So that's $56,000/year
If I can keep the truck running 10hrs/day 5 days a week for 25 weeks (Up north, short year):
$143,000 gross income
A driver: $37,000
Fuel, a little harder to figure, but I am going to say $30,000
Maintenance? A new truck, maybe $10,000 a year?
Registration, insurance and taxes? Shooting from the hip but probably heading toward $10,000
So I am at $143,000. Wait, that was the income.
So I am sure we can work with the numbers a bit, you probably don't have to spend quite that much on a truck, I can try to run the truck harder, and obviously I should run the truck longer than 5 years. I still don't see it.
