Well i priced out a new F-350 and it came in at 41k. An F-550 cab and chassis comes in at 40k around another 5k to add a nice alum. flatbed. With a F-550 i can put a 9ft Fisher MC snow plow on it and a 3-3.5 yard salt spreader. Now my F-350 only has an 8.5ft plow and a 2 yard spreader. lol bigger truck bigger money i make $$$. Thats my thinking about the 550.

I think your right too lol.

Well after thinking and talking to the oldman alittle more. I might hold off for alittle while on this 2nd truck idea. But one day i will have more then one truck. I guess i will wait intill the time is right. Plus like my oldman says only a fool would buy a 2nd truck and lease it to a carrier. He told me you got to get the work yourself to make it with drivers. To many hands are in the pot going the lease way.

Also the F-550 is on the back burner as well. Think i need to slow down alittle. Trying to set the world on fire alittle too fast.
