I'd hook up motion sensor lights to come on outside Automatically. Something to discourage meth heads and thief's from getting too close.

Just too much goes into specin one out. Sure I'd you got the money and patience but they way freight been up an down.

To get one is easy to pay for it is the problem,most people have them special deals hauling exclusive until somebody cut the rate,and all of us have in our own mind what’s good pay and what’s bad pay,a truck like this you should be able to pay it of in 5 years ,when I see some banks loan 8 years on a truck,could be way over a million miles and stil making payments on it,but when you run your ass of and put every penny back in the truck,and that’s when you make money,of cours depends what your hauling ,say no to cheap freight,is the kicker..>what is cheap freight you tell me

We started our careers in tank division, back in our company driving days!! When we pulled step deck, we were 34K in weight with full fuel and water tanks, so there is a lot you can haul. Most, but not all, big bunks work in specialized hauling: government, pharmaceuticals, aviation, household goods or trade shows, car hauling, to name some. You just have to see what’s right for you. We love being on the road together. I was out of the truck for 6 weeks once and my husband was ready to quit being out himself. It takes patience & time, but we wouldn’t change it for the world.
