<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Short Fuse EOD, post: 11781074, member: 168110&quot;]A 389 flat top with a 280 or 290 wheelbase biggest engine 18 speed throw in a painted frame and full lockers. You won’t find much competition from a mega. Dealers that specialize in such rigs ordered them and they are still slowly coming in. I got mine for 175K Peterbilt Sioux Falls. You won’t have many fleets to compete with other than owner ops. Also try a visit vs a sale over phone. That’s how I got a 22 Great Dane 78k with a carrier. I visited dealer explained my situation and had them want to help a guy starting out. What you know a fleet let two trailers go from a big order and I got one! It’s all in people skills and looking into a different network. I had no luck with Jx network or rush of Dallas. Dallas wouldn’t even give me the time of day. I had better luck with folks in Green Bay and Sioux Falls. I even had a lead on utility trailers shipped from Mexico and sent to Wisconsin rapids. They got 5 trailers from utility. Are they going to offer them to a random caller or someone that visits, gets work done in service, drinks coffee with them and asks&nbsp; about their weekend.I even wrote out a letter to Paccar about my family heritage in trucking, combat history and future intentions. I wore a colored shirt and had a portfolio in hand. I meant business and the dealer felt good about giving a guy a chance. I didn’t show up with flip flops or a bad attitude.</p><p><br /></p><p>Throw away truck is one that probably will never make it to a truck show or sit in a museum. You can find a throw away truck operated by the scum of trucking, the ATA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
