Been reading this thread but haven't posted till now. Glad to see you're getting a newer reliable truck, that will surely take a load off you're mind. I bet old blue will have a role in the future, but its seems like right now, trying to run OTR with it isn't the best thing. Make some money with the newer one, build old blue into the truck you want it to be.

Take the one that'll leave the most coin in your pocket at the end of a given week. Then take the extra coin and live. Congrats.

The duals versus singles debate will never end. Or I don't expect it to. Truckers will always have opinions on such things.

Every one has their idea of which is the best on fuel, etc.

What'd I miss? I read he had his eye on one and was focusing on it, but not that it was a done deal??

Where's the rest of the story? There's gotta be some benefactors in the mix. I'm well advised by oldies rock that nothin from nothin leaves nothin!
