I would like some insight on the following. I have a paid for truck and by yr end I am looking to rebuild the engine, and other things such as rims , tires etc.
I would like other opinion own to buy a newer truck $20,000 to $30,000 range. The type of hauling I do is short haul, around 2000 to 2500 miles weekly ( 2500 being high). Weight avg about 5000 to 42,000 lbs)
42 pulled twice weekly for about 100 miles. All other 23,000 lbs or below. Home almost daily out maybe 1 night. I avg between 1.20 to 1.30 to the truck on hub miles, leased to a carrier.
This I will run past and accountant but would like other opinion before I do since I have some time before I have to make a decision.
My truck is a 2000 frliner fld 120 with a Detriot engine, has been very good truck. I like the old truck, some of the newer Detriot engine 14.0 have been getting mixed reviews on.
As always Thx in Advance
