Great truck!! I wonder if Swift will let me put Spinners and Hydraulics on my Freightliner and a 1000 watt stereo in my cab with the base boost cab between the twin stacks? Mind you, I would be playing Snoop Dogg, but ZZ TOP/Aerosmith/Van Halen/Living Colour would sound just as good to me at that volumn. Or...better yet, how about some Conway Twitty running thorough Detroit on a late Friday night cranked to 11?8)

I have heard Gman and others here recommend: 1. Either pay for your truck with cash or owe as little as possible(this implies a used truck) 2. You should have a healthy maintenance or breakdown fund to cover the problems that are going to come up with the truck 3. You need some float money which covers the time it takes to actually get paid for the loads you hauled/delivered 4. Have set aside your daily expenses to carry you for a few months I know there are a whole lot more to this list, but that should help you get the picture of the cash reserves that you should have to hit the ground with a running start. It takes a while to build relationships with brokers, and know the best places to run or not run. Give yourself the best shot you can at being successful. Long live the King! Longsnowsm
