I'll have to see Fom but really how much do you save on a full size diesel?

Thats a plus to a gas pot, really if I use a Ford 3ton with a FE or inline 6 Any repairs are affordable because I know those truck inside and out upside down versus a diesel or EFI unit.

It depends if it is all in town or mainly then I wouldn't mind a well running/maintained older 3 ton but if it turns out to be highway travel, then a newwer truck or newwer drive train would be much better.

i suppose... like i say...nelson courier in yorkton would be a bunch to call. they have owner/drivers and they make real good money. they've been contemplating a s'toon-yorkton expansion, but its hard for them to find drivers too.

I would be in a newer truck to avoid constant repairs with the bonus of better dependability. Constant down time could be a killer.
I`m not real big on driving all day plus working half the night on a truck any more, I used to do abit of that but those days are over.

I think its cool you would like to do coruier work with an older truck, but I dont know if its the best idea. Appearance is alot when doing work like that, and these days, most people want to see a shiney new truck working for them instead of a shiney old one.
I know theres a few guys in here that will say different, but I mean in general, the people you would want to haul stuff for.
