RE: UPDATE... This is a good example to all,if you are relly under the gun,pushing hard,the best thing is to sit back,relax,and think of things like this. I wrote a story for Land Line once,about how it dawned on me that I was pushing too hard,and was putting myself and others at risk,I sat...

I would like to ask for input from all here.Since I have been running I have looked at what I felt would be ideal trucks to run.I have always felt a market for "super"[for want of a better word] set up trucks.I have been developing a super B [under 10,000 gvw] that could haul 3000 lb be [inside...
