    Kenworth T800 All the Way and I've been in the Oilfields for 3 years now with Big Red. If I leave and do what your plan on doing. I have only one truck in Mind. Get me a Kenworth T800 period end of story.

    Didn't take mine off but should have......my 613 was a solid unit and I made plenty of cash with it. Came to work every day and really never let me down. Reminds me of the R model I broke out on.......

    And my Ch is still working today, she hauls dirt, off weekends and speaks Spanish. What a dog !

    if you insist on a new truck forget about fuel savings crude is just not that business ease of service will be of paramount importance the oil field breaks trucks new or used and the automatics are not easy to get fixed
    I would spec a classic style truck for ease of service also remember oil is paid by the BBL so while double frames and 46k rears all sound good unless you need them they will cost you $$$ every day in lost revenue
    Full lockers are great in my truck but for my hands I would pay rather winch truck then replace axles
