    I’ve got a 10 speed mated to the Cummins. You think 13 speed vs 10 help on fuel? I had the hardest time switching from my 13 to the 10. Just getting into the groove where it works good for me now on hills.

    Yea, that’s what I’m afraid of! My nightmare would be selling this truck and getting into something just to have it not perform atleast as good on fuel! My Mack vision was supposed to be good on fuel when I did my research but it was quite the contrary, luckily fuel was $2 then so I could eat the cost. But now I’m looking for my recession/diesel price increase economy truck.

    Whatever I can put on a flatbed basically. Trust me, if I can do it...anyone can! Just have to stick to your guns and be willing to walk away if need be. Equipment is over priced right now. I'd ride everything out until things get a little closer to normal before making any major decisions if I were you. Instead of changing things up, I'd focus more on generating as much revenue as possible. Shoot as high as you can possibly get! Remember: a, "no" is one step closer to a, "yes" when selling your services.

    Keep the Pro Star. It's a money maker. The Long hood is like a Corvette. You don't buy it because you need it, you buy it because you got the cash or credit and you want it.
