| About to buy my first Rig for Auto Transporting, What should I look for? Ok its time to dump the F450, the 7.3 cant handle 4 cars too well. Im going to dump it and put it towards a big rig. I didnt realize you could get them for cheap. I really only need a single axle and want something with a sleeper. Maintance wise, what should I check for that they did? Also what should I stay away from? What is considered alot of mileage on these? Im going to look at a 99 International with a Sleeper for 7k has about 700 on the clock with new brakes. Please help this newb out!   |

| It depends on what trailer you are going to throw on behind it as to how much HP you will need or may need in the future. Also keep the wheel base within a decent range. I am looking at truck paper daily for the same thing. Am looking at a 5 car trailer at the moment, but trying to spec the truck to pull a 7 car trailer down the road if need be, pending how broke I want to be.  |

| I have a 4 car wedge that I will be using for now. So I dont need anything crazy HP wise. Heres what Im looking at right now 98 Freightliner Century Class 860 on the clock, new brakes, recent clutch. Bodys not beat up, just faded white, Im sure my detailers can take care of that. Guy said he would take 6k cash, Im sure I can get him down. It was just DOT Inspected. It has a Detroit Series 60. What can you guys tell me about that? |

| You aren't really saving anything buy getting just a single axle, but you are limiting yourself. |
