    Glad i found this thread and will be following going forward. Im literally in the airport leaving my big rig company to pickup a 3500 and big tex trailer to run. Couldnt pass it up, no money out of pocket and unlimited mileage warranty for 2 year on truck. Guessing ill end up switiching to a loboy trailer at some pt but for now im getting truck and trailer on payments and 80% of loads and hes got a vested interest in running me since i cant make payment without staying busy. Look forward to learning more here.

    Be curious as to other starting advice, threads, forums or load boards are receommended as well.

    2017 F-350 and a 40 foot Air Ride Load trail.

    Paid a little extra money for the air ride set up and realized in my opinion its at this point not worth the extra money. Only once have I hauled a load requesting it. Added a chain rack and dunnage box and sliding rail system for the straps that have come in handy and recommend if a budget allows. As for the truck I'm a Ford guy and love it. Have nothing as of yet to complain about on the new truck. 20180520_203918.jpg 20180316_120612.jpg 20180306_084805.jpg 20180412_125533.jpg 1520181270051804675947.jpg
