    Super D

    Hawk, why don´t you just go with a 48´, and be done with it. There are plenty of those old air rides around at great prices. I have a friend who bought a 48´ with a liftgate and shortened it. He ran a super D with the old Roberts Express and did quite well. Might work for you and you´ll get the...

    Are you going to EAT that???!!!!

    I participate in another forum that has absolutely nothing to do with trucking. It´s just conversation and discussion that passes the time.

    Fuel cards, and tips or tricks of the trade.

    Broompilot. I don´t go overboard, as there are some things that can´t be discounted. Usually it´s the higher priced items for business or personal use.
