Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

truck-financing-and-leasing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Truck Financing & Leasing

Buying a Class 8 truck costs $130,000-$200,000+. Most fleets + owner-operators finance. This skill covers the options + math.

The 5 main truck-financing paths

1. Conventional loan (own outright over time)

  • Lender provides 80-90% of purchase price
  • Term: 60 months (5 years) typical
  • Interest: 7-12% APR for fleets; 9-15% for owner-operators
  • Down payment: 10-20%
  • Monthly payment: $2,200-$3,500/month
  • At end: truck is fully owned

Pros: Build equity, no usage restrictions, tax depreciation Cons: Maintenance costs, depreciation risk, capital lockup

2. Lease (TRAC — Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause)

Most common fleet lease structure. Cap cost based on purchase price, less expected residual value.

  • Monthly payment: $1,800-$3,000/month
  • Term: 36-60 months
  • At end: option to buy at residual (typically $50K-$90K for Class 8) or return truck

Pros: Lower monthly payment than purchase, off-balance-sheet (depending on accounting treatment), upgrade easily Cons: No equity built, mileage limitations (usually 100K-150K/year), conditioning fee at return

3. Lease-Purchase (for owner-operators)

Driver-targeted lease-to-own. Often offered by carriers as an entry pathway:

  • 0-down OR minimal down (e.g., $1,000)
  • Higher monthly payments ($1,200-$2,500/week deducted from settlement)
  • 3-5 year term
  • At end: truck is owned, OR driver buys at predetermined residual

Pros: Low entry barrier for owner-operator Cons: Often more expensive than direct financing; some carrier programs leave drivers underwater

4. Fair Market Value (FMV) lease

Open-ended lease where return value is determined at end:

  • Lower monthly payments than TRAC
  • End: pay difference between agreed FMV and actual market value (or return truck)

Pros: Lowest monthly cost Cons: Risk of large balloon payment at end if used market is weak

5. Operating lease (rental-style)

True rental — no purchase option, return at end:
