    It's my belief that this is a troll poster. And you guys swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker.

    Face it, "forners" have a network of friends that are already O/Os in the US, already work with or own truck dealerships, AND speak their language. I wouldn't expect them to come here for advice on buying a truck.

    Plus, the spelling mistakes are just too obvious.

    I haven't driven anything Super, I'm a newbie, just throwing in my 2 cents based on things I've heard along with a little positive inspiration hopefully. I'm glad to see folks have shifted to sharing helpful info. instead of telling the man how to run his business, I really hope to see him as well as everyone on here succeed.

    Good for you. My post doesn't say Kw's and Pete's don't come with DD's, just that they cost more. Personally I love 379's and W9's that others have suggested, but they may not be the best for a new O/O with only $30k. Again jmo.

    Still working on it, looking into various options, and trucking schools and so forth, I'll post something in the newbie section when I make some headway, thanks for asking.

    I know you said Dryvan, but I would recommend reefer. This way you and haul Dryvan frieght and Reefer freight. Why limit your business?
