    Well actually we have degraded if you can say so from 6 car enclosed to 2 car. We had a stacker previously. It is a lot better money. $8500/week on average running $2.5~ per mile and now $1.5 per mile with $4000 gross on average per week. It is a big difference, but work load physically and mentally is much higher owning a stacker.

    Personaly on 2010 Ram3500, front shocks replaced once in 130k miles. Tires are ok, rear tires last for 100k!, front onces has been an issue due to shocks, but after replacement it is ok. Everything else is just fine, but we haul 2 enclosed cars, so not too much of a weight. IF i had a chance buy dually or single axle tractor for the same price and same condition i'd get a tractor as in a long run it will pay off a lot better.
