Here is my retirement plan. Pretend the sleeper doesn't exist and the axle is right behind the tank. I can't say I've ever dealt with a 6+4 before though.

I really like my Droid Razer Max. It will stay charged for 12 hours with me using it a lot.

That's a nice looking truck Caleb. I'd say it needs more horsepower though

Why Caleb lol

Well I know for a fact that 500 horse in a farm truck will get you pretty far here in the flat half of Indiana. I can only imagine what an extra hundred horse, another 300 cubes, and who knows how much more torque would do

Why Caleb lol

Because KTA! That's why. Plus almost everyone I know runs an electronic truck or an aerodynamic truck. The Volvos, Freightliners, and short hood trucks out number the long hood mechanical trucks big time at the elevator. It's quite sad in my opinion

Perhaps I'm spoiled, as most of my amateur trucking experience is with a 500 horse 379 with a sweet Seminole paint job and an 18 speed.

[ellis93]

I can tell you why there are short trucks out numbering those....... They can turn and no football field required

Hey I like those old 379's they look great......traveling a straight line

I'm just messing with you

When I say it needs more horsepower it's more if a blanket statement. Just like I said Caleb's truck could do with more horsepower. I actually say it about everything. I had a thought about a semi with about 1500hp so yeah I'm a bit crazy like that

[cmann250]

Be my guest and find out how often clutches go out with 1500 horse I don't care if you have a Lipe or what, that kind of power tears crap up.

Ellis, up here we have this crazy concept called straight roads

I can vouch for that. Its all straight and flat!

I wouldn't know, I live in the land of hills,curves, and property lines shaped like cookie crumbs

[RCCUMMINS89]

Mississippi.... hills? Pffft, try coming out here. Our hills change elevation by 3,000 feet.

[ellis93]

Those are mountains, here we have hills, apple and orange.

I've always thought about trucking, but It won't happen until the kids are gone and its just me and the lady and travel the country side. for a couple years then do it again with a camper.

Horse power isn't everything.......when you depend on your truck to make money I would take a 500hp over a 1500 hp truck any day of the year because I won't be spending my earned money on driveline components.

Yea if I were driving for a living, I'd want a Freightliner with a series 60 Detroit and a 13 speed. Those trucks are easy on fuel and they're a dime a dozen.

Sadly, chrome don't get you home and neither does a long hood.
