    Just give them a call, they will tell you what trucks are on the way.
    If you have a truck in mind, tell them what your looking for and they will try to find it... Take your time and don't settle for a truck you don't want.
     
    whisky Thanks this.

    IMHO looks like there all overpriced. If you want to own a truck look to finance one some other way. It's been said on here many times if you can't afford a truck the conventional way then you can't afford one period. Many drivers here have been through these kinds off purchases and thy just don't make financial sense. Good Luck

    This is a good point, but remember if you get a truck from an outside source you also need to get the pumps and hose racks. Check out how much that will run you first, the savings May not be as significant as you originally thought. Just a thought.
     
    whisky and Coyote302 Thank this.

    The trucks are overpriced, however, they are ready to go with pump and everything needed for tanks. Miller will also loan you money for repairs as long as you have a truck through them.
    One other thing to remember is that we are not talking about hauling for dry van rates... It makes a big difference.
     
    skinnytrucker and whisky Thank this.

    Home time is up to you... Basically you can't be forced to leave the house. On average about .30 cents higher for the year.
    You can send a PM.

    I've seen that they have 389 Pete's with that garbage paccar engine. Can you pick the truck you want ?

    Miller uses hose racks on their trailers and they install pumps free of charge. when you delease, they remove the pump. If it's before the first year is up, they charge you for the installation and removal.
