    I was just watching the movie "due date" if you've seen it I'd recommend taking the trip yourself.

    Well I was thinking of taking my cousin with me, he has a CDL I just didn't want to cheat him with the pay and I know he won't charge me as much but I still wanted to get some ballpark figures so thanks guys for all your input

    Another thing to keep in mind is you are driving a truck that is unproven to you .. If issues arise it's cheaper feeding one mouth if truck gets stuck at a repair shop a few days ... More than a few salesman or mechanics have overlooked stuff when selling a vehicle .. For the 10 hr savings I'd just do it alone unless times a factor. PS sleeping in a bobtail may be hard when it running down the road

    I forgot to mention it's a new truck but you are right about sleeping in a bobtail I think I'm gonna go pick it up alone.
