    Not going to be getting a truck over 06 I would think . Likely older . figured just a cheap one to start out . Have not talked to anyone about leasing to them yet. But I have wrote down a couple names that do it that i got from other grain haulers that seem to be happy with their jobs. Yep dyno test and scan is a good idea .

    The tractor has a GVW of 52k, add a trailer and your at 80k plus.

    Icsheeple ; I figured that out when I woke up at about 4 am . Just popped in my head . Might hold out for one with a large window in sleeper. My pitbull likes to lay there and look out.
    Sitting here in line pouring fuel all over ground . Mount wore hole in tank . Filled up before I noticed because rain . Boss says to let it all pour out while unloadind in this place building and parking lot and while driving 400 miles to yard instead of fixing right down street . ????

    ran out about 1/4 tank on ground . Oh and 300 miles not 400 . I was thinking from up the road . Got to yard and they fixed it ..... well they disconnected it . One tank is better than none ! Then back to the " well fix this and your transmission next week while you drive a barrel trailer hauling mud for a week... two weeks .... " I think not . Looking for that truck and carrier to lease to right now.

    Get approved by the carrier you want first. Buying the truck is easy.
