OK Guys and Gals:
My buddies and I have a 50' Kentucky drop trailer transporter. We've converted it to a stacker. It holds 5 race cars. The tare on the trailer is 22,600# and loaded for the races is about 38,000#. It came / a beater 87 Volvo/White tractor. I had the fuel pump dialed up, but still no love. Now we're on the hunt for something w/ some balls. I'd like to spend between $18k and $25k. What should I look for? We may put drivers in from time to time. The tracks w/in 5 hrs I'd drive out myself. Lurking the Inet we've seen the Intl 9200's and 9400's in MY's 97-00. Freightliners too, but w/ about a million different models :roll: My wants are a conventional w/ a sleeper, 425 hp, don't know what ratio or gearbox ('cept I know I don't want autoshift). Tandem axels. Why do I want alum wheels? Weigh less or just good looks? This thing will only be on the road about 30 day/year and probably between 5 and 10k miles in that time. What should my other criteria be? Here's the transporter, holla when you go by :wink:
Let's hear your thoughts! Thx.
