    Gentlemen Thank you very much.
    My truck is not that great but I really want to get out of dry van business.I did step deck ,flat beds ,everything has a season prices .I can’t work like that so that’s why I decided to go to more stable business is Rgn.I will get 3 axle and try to stay Midwest and east .
    I live in the southwest but if I return here only for a home time .I’ll work a season and try to sell freightliner and buy Pete or Kenworth .I really like Cat engine with no def ,dpf,etc. but I’ll see what I have a money for .
    Again thank you so much for advices .

    RGN has extreme season variations. It is probably the most volatile of all of them

    He must plan on staying in the south. Rgn's are real profitable during road ban season...

    Not worth a #### in the south then, all the northerners come down and #### up the rates.

    Who you call in a northern ?? .....Mr heavy hauler ! LOL The cascadia in question will do fine at 120000 lbs. With the 3:25 but be ready for clutch repair or rear end repairs. Put 3:70 or 3:90 ratio in it and ride !

    Sounds like a good idea for spring breakup next year. Run local and get pissed up at humble's every night till the road bans come off.

    Something to ponder:

    Equipment rental rates are higher in Idaho than California. Why would that be? Much of our state has at best a 9 month working season, and most of California has 12. Therefore our dealers must pay for the equipment in 3 less months per year. Depending on the type of work it gets worse as you go North.

    I don't know exactly how this affects the transportation of equipment, but it must have a tremendous impact. With schedule 179 deductions I suspect a lot of equipment gets moved in December and January, and new equipment going to dealers may be somewhat stable depending on the economy, but there are definitely seasonal pressures applied to the market.
