1. In short yes. We're based in NEPA 40min from scranton 25min from Binghamton NY. We run 2 dry vans and are home every day. Avg 1800mi a week doing 100% spot freight
2. Yes but it's nice to have that bunk back there. Imo go with a small sleeper you won't regret it.
3. I know a few who've done the same thing. Went out and got a truck, slowly got it road worthy and then jumped shipChevyCam, jdiesel3406, Coffey and 1 other person Thank this. -
Alright cool , I was looking in to Freightliner Classic with a 36” sleeper with a fairly short wheel base for NYC ,
do you have any recommendations on where I can find freight ? Do you guys run load board or have brokers that pretty much dispatch you guys , or leased your truck to a company or own authority -
Perfect appreciate your input . I’m planning to take advantage of the #### economy to buy a truck for dirt cheap so when the economy is back I can hit the ground running

I can put you in touch with a company in NJ for flatbed work. Hit me up once you are on the road and i'll see what I can do.
Daycab may limit your opportunities (can't do splits without a sleeper), fyi. I'd take Brett's advice.Manice955 and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
Between goulet, srs, Ballard, and a few others, your not making anything up here with a bucket, not to mention you’ll be 99k gross+ through a majority of it
Never buy a daycab, easier to park a sleeper every day then sleep over a steering wheel -
