    why wait? Bet if you order after the first of next month it’ll be least halfway if not the end of the year before you get it.
    Then set on it til you need it, depreciate it when you need. Don’t wait til your current unit is all clapped out n end up with a off the lot wagon for almost all the money you’d spend on a custom unit.

    I get what you're saying. I have a plan and 2021 deductions are about where I want them. Starting the 2022 plan now. Flat has plenty of life left in it. New tires and entire brake system this year.

    I guess my underlying point wasn't the deductions but the minimal difference in price stock vs custom when you consider that it’s yours n you’re likely to have it a long time/ vs buying one when you need it or waiting 6-9 months.

    I have a 524, and I love it. I put 51k of palletized stone right in the middle, and it still had arch. When I show up, I always have the ugliest truck, and the nicest trailer.
