Thinking about buying again

You are right. I am from Indiana and they are rare in my area. Anytime I notice one for sale it is from Ca. I notice hay haulers use them.
Good-luck to you Phroziac.

 

I remember the L10 Cummins but never drove one. The only things I can think of you could do is Hotshot(maybe) or move trailer houses or RV's. If I remember right that L10 is pretty under powered and light. Not much you can do to it to upgrade it either. I agree with some of the other posts here. You really need to find a job for the truck that it can do and then make your move.JMO

 

Roadmedic can tell you about moving RV's but I can tell you there's no money in it to speak of . You are only paid one way and almost always deadhead back so if the rate is $1.10 mile you are actually on making $.55
I just saw a nice hotshot rig come up for sale . 99 FL70 with 220,00 miles . Averages 9 mpg and for $34,000 comes with a 50' stepdeck equipped with chain , tarps , etc . This guy made good money with this truck but his customers offered him a better contract that requires a Class 8 tractor . I told the owner to join here and post full info on the classifieds here .

 

There used to be a forum for RVhaulers but it shut down not long ago and the domain is for sale . I was leased to Bennett and their best agents were in KY and MD allowing hauling back out of those states but Fleetwood permanently closed plants in KY , MD , TX , and CA .
Quality RV Transport has driveaway division and they were looking for drivers for contracts in Garland and Laredo , TX . They quoted take home pay of $500 a week .

L10 is a 10 liter cummins engine that is for light weight/local work, 330hp maximum and 1250lb torque, it was phased out around the time the N14 became the way of the dinosaur, 2000ish or so? Its a good local truck engine but i wouldnt haul heavy OTR with it. not that you cant but I WOULDNT lol.
