    Wondering who hauls with a cab and chassis? Sure seems easier to mount hitches etc.

    Be warned through, without a bed on the truck it will ride horrible when bobtail.

    Is it bad enough to make a person not want to do it? I sure wouldn't think that bed would make a huge difference.

    When I had my truck on with Canadian RV Logistics, they had company cab and chassis. They had the full plastic fenders and a 100 gallon fuel tank mounted behind the cab, and toll boxes on the side of the frame.
    I never heard any of the drivers complain of horrible ride, but didn't ask them either?
    It is a good economical setup though when you consider it is 20 grand for a good hauler body.
    If I would have stayed doing that, it would have been my next setup on a medium duty Terrastar 4x4.

    I just bought a cab & chassis. I may use it for hotshot loads soon. I'm considering airbags for the drives. Should be easy enough to install.
