    None. Trucks are a bad investment. They are expensive to maintain, and they depreciate fast.

    if your a "newbie" ,you shouldn't even be asking this question. get some experience, learn the trade.
    if your not , why post in the "new driver" section?
    should be in the owner/operator section.

    Thanks for those who helped and i am looking to get two trucks one will be local in Houston TX and another will be OTR and they will be power only loads for local so a ideal tractor should be able to pull dry vans trailers and the max weight would be around 40k lbs.

    The one that makes money, is spec'ed right for the job at hand, doesn't cost much outside of fuel and general maintenance, and will keep going on down the road.

    The last thing you want is something that'll keep going down for a regen or "warranty work" keeping you in the shop longer than out on the road.
