In light of my recent misfortune (car accident), I am trying to be optimistic. I don't expect to be able to retire, and I certainly don't expect to have a huge sum of money when all is said and done. However, I am hoping for a best-case scenario of having a clean bill of health, being able to pass a DOT physical, and possibly having enough to buy my own truck. Would buy a factory-built truck if I had to, but I am particularly interested in gliders. I don't really care if I go to California, and while I've had fairly good luck with DPF / DEF equipped trucks (exception: Intertrashable PornStars), I would like to avoid these systems altogether should I be able to make a move.
As I stated, I really don't care if I go to California. But I also wonder if this would limit my options as to who and where I can lease on with. I'm sure common sense dictates if you're buying your own truck, might as well get your own authority, but that comes with about another $30k in initial expense, or so I'm told.
But are gliders really worth it? I've heard that they are not all created equal and that some are not truly turn-key, even though they start up, run and drive. What's the skinny on all this?
Gliders - Pros and Cons vs DPF / DEF Trucks?
