    lift gate loads w/o wg

    Having been in a truck with a lift gate the past 4 years I cant say it is a wise investment. More of a feel good customer service option. A couple more loads a year , yes. Things to factor in: additional weight added to the truck. If you are a single axle D unit, the extra weight may make you a...

    truck financing

    I agree $1 buyouts are still written. I am not so sure they would pass a tax audit. Leases like buys are created according to the buying strength of the purchaser. In the case of a $1 buyout, the purchaser would have a strong credit rating worthy of the bank holding 99.9% of the risk. But even...

    Lease an expedite truck???

    Yeah, leasing is tougher than buying. Straighten out your credit while driving for someone. Get you credit score up, save a downpayment, which would be needed in either a buy or lease and have 3 to 6 months cash reserves to live on. Good luck.:)

    truck financing

    I havent leased a CVM. I have leased cars and equipment for business. The thing I was informed about by an auditor was, if you have a dollar buy out lease, you are actually buying the car or equipment. If you deduct the full payment monthly it may not be allowed as virtually 100% of the item is...

    What is EO All About?

    I have been doing this, as you, for a very long time. I am 58 years old and have been around a bit. As far as your ideas, they may be okay, they may work. They may not improve the site, hence making it better. If the owners of the site are satisfied, it is the best it will be until a new...

    What is EO All About?

    Isnt asking if something can be "better" along the lines of saying someone is more "succesful". What is better to one may be the pits to another. Trying to qualify "better" is very subjective.:cool: EO will always be the whatever the the site allows it to be. For better or worse in the eyes of...
