    I WANT TO BUY A TRUCK....

    You would be better to drive for an owner. You will need at least a 60/40 split and a good fuel surcharge program, or you will go broke with the fuel prices. (if you are paying) If you are paying for the fuel, you should expect no less than 100 percent of it. I don't believe that ES pays 60...

    Sleeper option

    I quess you could run a small heater hose outside for the drain, and have a quick disconnect. Six gallons doesn't seem enough. We have a 30 gallon tank and a six gallon hot water tank. It last 2 to 3 days with a team. Sink water ect is coming from the same source. Toilet has its own water...

    HazMat Renewals... Security Checks...

    I think the whole thing is total overkill. It does very little to address any security problems. The terrorist that want to blow something up, will steal the truck. A hazmat license does nothing to address that. We might catch a few illegals without green cards, but that is about it. Just my...

    I WANT TO BUY A TRUCK....

    I would wait alittle while as more repos and private sellers are giving up their trucks. You may be able to do a lease purchase through a private seller as an option. Make sure you understand what you are signing! If it is your first time, spend the couple of hundred dollars and have an attorney...

    Sleeper option

    They could but would have to use a square aluminum box for it. I think there could be some structure issues with it as well. The usual fiberglass ones you see can only go to 96". When doing a little specing, besides structure issues, cost was a factor. It looked like the upcharge was 20,000 to...
