Good morning,
Let me go straight to the point, I lent someone money person,person got a dwi can't work and the only thing they had was a 2001 single axle sterling who they gave me as repayment so what can I do with a single axle in the northeast?
Any use for a single axle truck??

A) sell it?
B) I believe you can only have 20k on that axle instead of 34k. You can fill in the blank on that one.
C) normally see them for P&D -
If you have a need for another truck I'd look at getting an Airliner cutoff and just building it into a regular tandem axle truck. Cut offs are usually pretty cheap.

Live and learn. A hard lesson but one you will hopefully remember. For your sake I hope the truck is worth more than the loan. If you recover more than the loan I suggest you be quiet and keep it. If you recover less than the loan amount I am sure the person who owes you will not make up the difference.

First things first Ruckie, what model Sterling is it? If an Acterra forget about putting a tandem under it max hp was about 330 and max tq was about 1000.
Sterling also had some lower hp in there other models also, figure out what you have, maybe it would make a good car hauler tractor for regional work. -
Move to Florida.
There you can use it to haul a end dump.
Seriously,you might be able to sell it there. -
Here is something you can do. Get a 3 or 4 car wedge trailer. Often those are pulled with a duelly. You get better mileage, and the truck will last longer.

BTW, what was the dwi guy doing with the single screw? Yard dogging? It'd be great for daycabmarineman227 Thanks this. -
TripleSix There is a lot of assuming in what you said. They might not even be on Facebook. I can think of many things far worse than being defriended by a low life on Facebook. Just sayin'

Is that what you're doing?
marineman227 Thanks this. -
the most recent information about the truck 2001 l8500 with 33700 as of this afternoon, was being used to haul furniture from warehouse to stores, the loan was 3k and I just saw a 1999 in worse conditions with 30k more miles for 7500 so I guess if I sell it now I would be looking at about 4 to 5k in profit right now, only thing I don't like is that it has 24.5 tires with less than 20,000 miles on them (may be 2k for steel rims and cheap Chinese tires all around if I decide to change it).
