    Not that I'm even slightly knowledgeable, but there's many on here that'll give you a solid opinion.

    Start up a thread "Opinions on first truck purchase", detail the options you're looking at, the operation you're running, and see what comes up.

    - What are you looking to haul.
    - Where are you running.
    - How fast do you want to run.

    Everyone is going to be different - you'd have to read back through the numbers I've posted here doing flatbed, and then compare it to @icsheeple who is running van and then look at your own situation and compare.

    Not a good day to ask Blair about flatbed, he may have died tarping in 100 degree heat Sunday afternoon.
