hard to imagine a $900 a month insurance payment plus van payment...holy cow
1200 miles @ .75 = $900..even if van payment was 1/2 the insurance bill...
you'd have to run 1800 miles to AND that doesn't include the cost to run them 1800 miles...
you'd probably have to run at least another 300 miles to pay for the first 1800 miles, now up to 2100 miles..and you haven't made a penny.....still have to add on other expenses as well...

I knew there was a problem with MI, when broker was offering a load to Laredo at rate In-transit got in there. I get out of Laredo at better rate than that. Good thing I left that state.

This has become a sightseeing tax deduction. However, if I had been in this for years, like Ken, this WOULD be a time to get out.

Was hoping to get back out this week, but....

Don't like how the brakes are feeling, so going to take it into the shop tomorrow to get checked out while still home.

And after a frustrating day of burning up drill bits trying to get my new TV mount on the van finished, it doesn't fit my TV. The TV arrived after the mount, so I thought I would get a head start :rolleyes:

Ordered a extender for the mount, which is suppose to fit, but will not arrive until Friday.

So most likely looks like I'll be back out, next week :dash2:
