    How do you figure? A road worthy pre emissions is going to run you the same as a 2017/18 emissions truck with around 400k. Those mech trucks won't lose value because there is a big market for them and they aren't even making many gliders now.

    Thanks. Doing as much research as I can. I am the first driver out of my family and friends. So the internet and random guys at the truckstop are helping out.

    With such a detailed analysis you must be such an asset to have around! I hope the rest of what got you to "Heavy Load Member" isn't as worthless.

    Why do you go on the internet, ask for advice , then argue with drivers, who have millions of miles of experience,

    My response was to your worthless response, and you added another one. Is that the best you can do?

    Im not argueing with everyone. I expect trolls and negative ppl comments. It comes with the territory. What sage advice did I argue with?
