Thanks. I don't do asphalt, so I didn't think of that. Never noticed it before, but strangely enough, I saw one near Memphis today.EazyE922 Thanks this.

If hauling sand and gravel or rock a lot get a dump bed with a hard liner in it.It will last much longer.

I’d suggest going to work for a company for a while to learn the business before you sink a lot money into it.
if you wanted to own a pizza restaurant, wood you think working at one for a few months to learn the business , would be a good idea ?
the insulated beds are for asphalt , to keep it hot on the way to the delivery .EazyE922 Thanks this. -
We bought it from the KW dealer in Fairbanks,they call it a Classic bed,with a liftgate.Its a 2008,but we bought it as new in 2010.MSRP was $212,000,we bought it for $150,000.
EazyE922 Thanks this. -
It has that DPF on it nobody wanted,.Never had a problem with it just don't idle it very long.

I don’t disagree, wish I would have about 10 years ago. I’ve got a regular job with a brother in law that can drive the truck to start. Hoping to get going and fill in on nights/weekends or whenever necessary until I could get a second truck and go full time.
The insulated bed makes sense but I know I’ve seen guys running asphalt with a solid side steel bed.
