    OK..my opinion from what my dad went through. Bear with me, the picture is his last truck, he started with a 2000 F350 also the truck that made him the least money according to him and mom. He drove class 8 for years before starting this venture. My opinion NOT enough truck, he put 3 drive axles under it, in the transmission twice and seemed like he was always buying tires. He took out the back seat and console built a bed there and lived in it. In the process he took the pick up bed off and put a flat bed on so he could tow a 53' trailer the company had giving him the ability to heal more units (how most pay). Ran that for awhile and moved to an FL 60 now he could do half and tow or if enough units use his trailer and haul 3 travel trailers 1 on the truck 2 on the trailer, and put a sleeper on it so he could be comfortable.

    When that truck was dying he bought the sterling and built it to hi needs and had the trailer built to his needs.

    Things he did to this truck aside from that, it needed an engine when he bought it,seller covered it because it was known it had been abused, did torque converter while it was apart and other than that very routine maintenance.

    The load in the picture came from Michigan, you take 5 1 truck or 5 trucks she will not let you take 1 or 2 its 5. He pulled out of la grande to places east because the east bound load paid for the trip, the west bound load was all profit because the truck and dad had been paid.

    You do NOT WANT singles you want to heal more than 1 unit, although some have you start single hauling until they know you won't tear stuff up.

    If you go with trailers cover the front any rock dent is driver damage and comes out of your pocket.

    Oh and people think you can sleep in the RV while you're under, they are wrong.

    A medium duty truck licensed about 32000 did the job, wore out the Ford and class 7-8 are overkill.

    Hope it helps.

    Not the same company, I know people who were leased to them and they left because the work vanished one day.
