    The w9 i drive is that way. Daycab piece on the back. With an aluminum piece that goes around the cab and locks the 2 sections together.

    OK I guess. I just see them all over the place for sale.

    I got a few dumps in a company I bought, they were geared differently, had double frames and worked really well. I ended up selling them to a local company who are still running them and kind of regret selling them. However I know they were spec'd as dump trucks, not as OTR trucks, and they were tough. I would not put anything on the road as a dump other than my HH WS trucks.

    Well, called around about insurance and it looks like it would be about $4100 a year. With a truck payment and maintenance on top of that...might not work out for a part time gig.

    I will have to keep checking around and doing research. My plan is still to go OTR once I retire but I was hoping to have some fun before then.
