I have heard this a lot over the years, heavyhaulerss. When your equipment is paid for you can weather a lot of bad storms. When the economy slows, you have little in reserves and high equipment payments or other debt, it is difficult to make ends meet. On the other hand, if you have low debt you don't need as much money to survive. Besides, when you have cash in your pocket, you can often get a good buy during economic down times. Those with high debt and low income will need to get out from under their heavy debt load. It is a great view looking at all the big shiny new trucks from my paid for truck. :wink:

Amen to that, Gman... 8) Mine ain't paid for, but its payments aren't what those 100,000 dollar PLUS trucks are. Now if we could just put a hammer on the Flying J fuel manager who has raised the fuel every day this week........ :sad:
