RE: Looking for help/advice on truck purchase
These trucks have been pulling refers since new. I'm sure that involved hauling dry freight as well & I know they will load them to 80k.

Myself, I pull a van right now but my plan is go get into flat/step deck work. I would be loading these trucks to 80k as well when I needed to.

I usually run 60mph but I've been know to run the speed limit if I needed to.

I run on % so my business model is to run for as much revenue possible with as little miles as possible. I also like to cut costs as possible so I can make a good profit at less revenue. I used to shoot for $4k a week in revenue & would normally run 65-68 mph to do it. Then I started running 60 mph (big difference in MPGs) to see if I could lower my operating expenses enough that $3200-$3500 a week in revenue would still give me the same profit. It's not how much we make but how much we keep that matters.
