    The hard part is winning a lottery. After that you can just truck until it's all gone.

    Here's one example of fleet sales; I don't know if the prices are right or not. These are Kenworth's though:

    DTI in Van Buren, Ar. ( who's looking like the next to go under) has a bunch of matching Petes and dry vans for sale.

    About the only bump in his plan of wanting to find matching used trucks is wanting the small 44” flattop bunk. Even going up to the 58” flattop would make more trucks available as that bunk is a little more common.

    Ok... So I went back and looked at their list. There's only 5 or 6 Pete's listed and the rest are T 660.

    Call Western we bought three identical trucks!
    That 44 inch sleeper it’s gonna be pretty tough.

    Well I’m 59 if I could win 10 million I’ll bet I would retire before I ran out of money!

    I'd be pretty hesitant buying a used TMC truck considering they dont have APUs. Nice trucks but...........
