    I'm having this same argument myself. Problem is, I want a ex-tanker truck and only one Gary has is beat up and over priced. There's a couple in TX, but I don't ever get down there and I'm not about to fly there just to look at a couple of trucks. I'm keeping an eye on Gary's inventory to see if there's any other mid-roofs become available.
    I'm also considering a 2004-2006 Pete. We have an O/O buying a new glider next year and I may buy his Pete. (It's got 200,000 on an overhaul and he stays on top of maintenance)

    It's got aluminum wheels at least. You can probably add a suspension dump if it doesn't have one.

    Keep us updated.

    I'm waiting to see if they post a new batch of trucks in the next couple of weeks?

    Do you know if they made 2013 Columbias with the 58 midroof sleep?

    That's what im looking to get right now but there isnt much to choose from.

    I thought '12 was the last year for columbia and in 13 they introduced its replacement, the cascadia. Idk for sure when the cascadia came out and too lazy to google it.

    There are still a lot of gliders that haven't been decommissioned yet. I believe every glider schneider has is a 2012 and either a 70" stand-up or 72" midroof.

    Everything they had in Toronto was a condo. I am picking it up Monday. Paper work got delayed over the holidays and the guy at the company I'm with was off for two weeks. They sent the paper work down yesterday and it should be here tomorrow he will hand me plates and stuff Friday so I'm booking a Monday am flight to Toronto then a couple busses out to Guelph and I'm good to go. I'll grab a load and head east to get home and then pack all my stuff in it. Get it checked over in my shop here and a fluid change. And off to the Carolinas I will go.

    I'm trying to get a load to TX to look at one of mid-roofs in the next couple of weeks.
