    Not at this time, but they have another 250 units to hit the market by the end of the year. Chances are they'll be under $40k.

    There's not a lot available in the $45 range with under 400k miles. I've been looking. And that also meets SNI 2010 mandate and that isn't a def/dpf truck.

    I tell you what. I would buy one of those gliders for sub 35 just to have when my new truck is in the shop. I'm sure Schneider would put a Quallcom if I paid for the unit.

    Maybe I would run that Glider local to make some additional money. Thoughts

    That looks just like the one I inspected today in Carlisle...

    2012 FL Columbia Glider....370k miles...$45k.... Outside mechanic inspected for me today, oil sample looks good...

    I'm tired of an $815 a week payment... This truck would be $795 a MONTH...

    And no emissions to bother with, easy to repair, parts widely available....

    And when it does break down, as I'm sure it will, the $2400+ a month I'll be saving will easily cover that cost, and the cost of me not working...

    To each his own, it's all your Choice...

    Roll on...

    Sometimes you have to pick your poison. I would love a new truck, but I love taking time off more.
