379 vs Classic XL

If cost to run is the important thing I would look at more aerodynamic trucks then the 2 you listed especially if you're not going to to be driving the truck you can get a aero truck a lot cheaper then a hood and it's cheaper to run

 

You are not going to get anything cheaper than 15k if its running and is not junk. Man, I did not know that old Petes are so expensive

 

Freightliner century or Columbia are probably the most common out there

 

If you have a good driver lined up I'd ask him. Probably gonna be pretty hard to find a good driver willing to drive a 15 year old or older freightliner century or Columbia unless you are paying big big bucks to driver. Just my opinion tho.

 

i agree that they are pretty much throw away trucks but will probably make you more money my truck is a turned up 600 w900 with a 290 wb but I'm the one driving it if I was hiring a driver to run a truck for me I could buy 4 century's for what my kenworth cost and still be money ahead

 

Based purely on what you've told us: Is spending $20k more to get a rebuilt transmission and diffs worth it to you? At over 1 million on the clock without a rebuild I think you'll be looking at major engine work in the near future.

 

2000 year will be still Elog, must be 1999 to avoid.
