    Best Expediting truck every Built

    Best for what? Would be my question. If a person would wreck one of these, can you imagine the bath you'd take from the insurance companys, if, you didn't have some of that high dollar "gap" insurance. Not trying to rain on anyones parade, just a reality check.

    I don't feel FSC is offered to "cover" your fuel costs. They are offered to "help off set" your fuel costs. You need to buy a little fuel on your own.
