    My plan is to purchase. I'm just stuck on whether to go pre or post emissions. The more I dig, the foggier it becomes. It seems idling is the bane of the newer engines. Do I go newer and buy extra batteries to run electronics and cooling, generator, do I go with an APU, either install or pre-existing, go with a used glider, etc..

    I'm not a wrencher...yet, so buying older may not be a good idea. A lot of variables. But whatever direction I go in, it will be a purchase.

    Would I get in trouble for posting another trucking websites address on here? There is a driver that went from buying his own truck to now having a company with 40 plus trucks. He started in '07 to now and it is a really informative thread, I think it would really help these guys with their questions.
