Reliable heavy hauler

I mean you no disrespect but, I'd say jumping head first into buying a heavy spec truck and trying to lease it on someplace with minimal OS/OW experience is not a great choice.

How much trucking experience total do you have? Have you ever dealt with permitting OS/OD before?

Got to look at where you are planning to run as well as what you'll be pulling. How heavy are you looking to go? What type of trailer/load are you going to be pulling?

There is no standard spec for heavy haul. The trucks tend to be purpose built for what they are pulling. My truck is useless to some. For what I do though it's what I needed

 

Ive spent the last year going over spec's a wheelbase charts/bridge formulas and finally just a couple weeks ago ordered my truck and its just for typical northwest heavy freight. So up to 105,500 gross. Ended up with a 389sh, 78" bunk, 312"wb and a 12' spread from the lift to the rear driver.

 

Your trailer choice is going to be much harder than your truck choice.

If you're dead set on jumping in head first, I'd start with a 60 ton trailer max. Then you're going to have to figure out jeeps, stingers, and such.

I couldn't imagine somebody with no heavy haul experience jumping head first into heavy haul with the intention of grossing 400K. That's got disaster written all over it. When I say disaster, it's probably the worst I've ever heard of. Do you even have a clue as to what it would take to gross 400k across multiple states?

 

At 400K, you're going to be looking at two trucks (push and pull).

I'm still trying to figure out if this thread is real or not, it's fun to play along though.
