Really the only thing I don't get is why people enjoy starting arguements with folks they don't even know. It seems to be more prevelant in this forum than in others, even a mod got in on the action last time.

I guess I'm just lucky, people think they are much more than they actually are online, and I humor them.

The best part is when they don't even realize that I'm making fun of them.

Brilliant.

We delivered at Freightliner in NC last year and they had probably a hundred new Argosys sitting and ready to go. Maybe they were for shipment to Europe?

The argosy is still available by special order for 2007. I heard but not been able to confirm that the cabs are built over in a plant in Europe and shipped here for assembly. This is the only question I have not had answered about the truck. The cab drawings I got my hands on is in euro size paper.

Also don’t’ forget that if you are looking for a flat floor COE without an age concern, look at a 98/99 international 9800.

We also run a 9800 International. It was designed, it seems, to be a "fleet" type truck, compared to the Argosy. Just don't have the amenites that the Argosy does. My vote goes to the freightshaker as I compare them.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you see as a ugly truck, I see as the most profitable thing short of a t/t. Keep reading, bam... we'll eventually force some knowledge of the industry into your cranium ;)

couldn't you take that cabover straight truck with larger box and put decking in it and haul some lightweight loads that might otherwise be considered a t/t load?

What you are asking Ark, is a normal occurance for us. Decking allows us 60 foot of cargo space, and the quad axle allows a 66K Gross and a net of 40K if we need it. Not too small a load, eh?

Wow, imagine that. And I thought we were the only ones that did that.:7

I mentioned that awhile ago, but with permanent decking that fold up and attaches to both walls. I drove a truck like that, and it's a lot more stable than using loadbars and straps; not to mention much easier.
