>Just don't get it, do ya Bugsy???

Really the only thing I don't get is why people enjoy starting arguements with folks they don't even know. It seems to be more prevelant in this forum than in others, even a mod got in on the action last time.

I guess I'm just lucky, people think they are much more than they actually are online, and I humor them.

The best part is when they don't even realize that I'm making fun of them.

Brilliant.

We delivered at Freightliner in NC last year and they had probably a hundred new Argosys sitting and ready to go. Maybe they were for shipment to Europe?

The argosy is still available by special order for 2007. I heard but not been able to confirm that the cabs are built over in a plant in Europe and shipped here for assembly. This is the only question I have not had answered about the truck. The cab drawings I got my hands on is in euro size paper.

Also donâ€™tâ€™ forget that if you are looking for a flat floor COE without an age concern, look at a 98/99 international 9800.

Looks like some '07s are available here:

We also run a 9800 International. It was designed, it seems, to be a "fleet" type truck, compared to the Argosy. Just don't have the amenites that the Argosy does. My vote goes to the freightshaker as I compare them.

i think they are ugly as hell

Rocketman · Apr 3, 2007

Their ugly...unless their making more money.

Tennesseahawk · Apr 3, 2007

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you see as a ugly truck, I see as the most profitable thing short of a t/t. Keep reading, bam... we'll eventually force some knowledge of the industry into your cranium

couldn't you take that cabover straight truck with larger box and put decking in it and haul some lightweight loads that might otherwise be considered a t/t load?

x06col · Apr 10, 2007

What you are asking Ark, is a normal occurance for us. Decking allows us 60 foot of cargo space, and the quad axle allows a 66K Gross and a net of 40K if we need it. Not too small a load, eh?

I can't imagine, actually.

Tennesseahawk · Apr 10, 2007

I mentioned that awhile ago, but with permanent decking that fold up and attaches to both walls. I drove a truck like that, and it's a lot more stable than using loadbars and straps; not to mention much easier.
