    I know I mentioned that super singles would be ~450 pounds lighter than duals, I will admit that I like the VNX more than I do other trucks, if CAT still made engines for trucks I think that would be a great pairing, and really I think the reason I decided on the VNX is that you don't see them all over the road like you do Freightliner, Kenworth, Volvo VNLs, Macks, etc

    Keep in mind that trucking like any other business is competitive and starting a business with priorities on a nice truck isn’t exactly a good idea. I personally recommend to lease or rent a truck first before going all in and purchasing a truck. You’ll be surprised how many people try the trucking business and either don’t like it or aren’t successful. Take leasing or renting as a “free trial.” If you’re successful, then you buy a truck. Otherwise, you can end up losing big money or continuing a business that you hate.

    Finally, be careful with the salespeople. They’re probably using their best tactics to convince people to buy a truck in a time where sales have gone down due to the coronavirus financial crisis.

    I'm not looking to make a business out of over the road trucking, once my fiance and I have the property we're looking at I'd also use this truck to build the house we want and also in local construction jobs that would be aimed towards goals aside from profit alone. And then there's a certain amount of fun to be had in private life when one goes to community events and you've got the biggest and most useful truck to shove it in the face of mall crawler owners
