    You should consider what you're going to haul before deciding on sleeper or daycab.

    If you're going to be pulling loads that pay by the weight. You want a lighter truck.

    I’ve always bought from either truck paper or one of my local dealers.

    Buy from a private person
    Get all service records
    Pay more than you want...
    It will still be less than the dealer

    You can tell alot about a truck when you meet the ownet and see the operation.
