    I thought he said he did research, and he still wants to pull a dry van. Dude stay a company driver and give your fam back the cash before they disown you.

    Gotta think of resale value down the road. 1998-2001 is too old IMHO for the money your talking. Rebuilt or not.

    yea the trucks age is the issue the 98 i would drop like hot cakes. the 01 is still alittle over priced. there was might still be an 03 non egr 12.7 det classic with a 13 or 18 white texas bumper drop visor side and hood lights.mud flap hanger lights. all front and side light clear led for 18500 i wont do calli cause i like classics and 07 was the last year i wont buy that new cause i like 12.7 so i am down to 03 or older to stay away from egr motors.....but it is hard to find places to lease onto...next step for me if the job i am looking at fails is to get my own authority which i hate to do but i will fight the goverment push downs as long as i can.

    Now we are getting down to the nitty gritty. We need more details. You know you can make the same amount of money with a $10K truck as a $40K truck, right. Use that $30K for something else, a new trailer, an inframe, recondition the truck you buy to like new condition, or keep the money in the bank for emergencies, the list goes on.
