Times are a changing :) Very cool! Price? Will Someone buy them out? Does Freightliner have one in development? Will diesel drop to $.99 a gal. I will be retired by the time I could buy one but will be nice for the next generation.

All things were going along fine with a large trucking company I was going to lease on with until they realized I was buying a new truck through a dealer and not one of theirs. They were no longer interested. Also the specs they sent me in writing (which I requested) on their truck did not...

Thanks, I am going to look into others. Panther just seemed to fit well for me. Especially their area of accounts.

Thanks, I will check it out.
