    Yes,all 37 pages.An interesting read.He did have to put a good amount of money into it and that’s that he did all the work himself.

    So you got the message that there are no cheap trucks?

    Brand is pretty much irrelevant. Its all in the specs.

    A while back we had a debate about wear on engines.
    The concensus was that hours tell you more about a engine then miles.

    Am i correct to assume you will run mostly the same lines?
    Then i would look which brand has the best support for your area.
    Can you work on the truck yourself?
    Do you have the knowledge?
    The tools?
    Space to work on the truck?

    Just Texas unless the rates or freight slows down.

    I’m pretty mechanically inclined.I have done all the work myself on my hotshots and that is very tight quarters compared to a big rig.

    I have some tools,but what I don’t have I will buy.

    The yard were I park at.

    Outside kind of sucks for working on stuff, especially in the Texas heat I'm guessing.
