    I like Cummins engines. X15 if you are buying a new or newer truck. I like Kenworths. T680 or W900 if you want to style.

    Like someone else said... what is the great gig you have? As a new owner op I def don’t see you being home nightly and making ends meet.

    I'd just keep that company gig, providing you get benefits and such. Chicago area has an over abundance of trucks owners that are willing to work for fuel money, no need to try compete with them.

    Best of luck
