-- Because you all know my story: Instead of doing that, I spent that money moving my family to Utah. Right.
-- if I hadn't done that I would have had enough money to fix the 16, and I wouldn't have had to lease another truck to stay in business. Right.
-- So as long as you as long as you have a plan to maintain it, you know, the the profit on a used truck that's paid for is so much more than having payments.
-- even just having a no payments for 2 years absolutely elevated my family's standard of living. So you know, you look at it that way.
-- so yeah. we could talk strategy, timeframe, what you feel comfortable with...
-- I get that a lot of guys don't like doing that because of the breakdown issues. I get that. Some of it's also going to depend, Charlie, on the health of the truck you're in.

-- he said: "myself, I didn't make money as a lease guy in the beginning, but that was my fault because I didn't run the way I should have... And it took Michelle to introduce me to Charlie. I was running like a company driver, and not paying attention to the fact I needed to learn where and how to get fuel.
