Nice ride, I'd be tellin' the kiddies and momma "talk to ya soon"!! ahahahahahahahaha!!! Good luck, we'll be watching for tv infamy!!!

It's a no-brainer...once on the road (or ice) you can't leave it, it won't let you. Only thing I would say is that I hope it's got a cummins, the acert sucks!!! (yes, I own one in an '07 flattop pete)
Three-holer...spend the cash on the led's, no need for two alternators and they look much gooder I'm running over 250 on tractor/trailer and it doesn't even budge the voltmeter.

Been around alot of nice trucks and I got to hand it to ya that is a nice setup. How does the Autoshift work on the heavy stuff?? I to agree LED's are the way to go. Good luck to ya up there and keep the shiny side afloat. Maybe we'll see ya on the tube

autoshift is the cats meow ..not that I don't love my traditional 18 d/o but hauling heavy with auto....no room very driver error and especialy on the ice at 25 kms an hour all day long it sure takes the fatigue factor and throws it out the window
Man that's a nice hauler. I'd drive it but don't know about the ice. I would hate to sink something that nice. You pulling a high dollar low boy trailer too? What size are the stacks? They look like 12" straight pipes (no muffler behind the stainless shields) from the pics.
I got a buddy who hauls alot of mine equipment and runs a 900L KW pulling a Talbert trailer similar to this. His gross is $10/mile but the restrictions and costs are quite a bit also.

What's the GVW on that rig? Seems like it might be a bit heavy... You bringing your own trailer, or you pull one of Tli Cho's trailers?

she aint heavy .....shes my .....mother lol
if I had the big bulky piece of sh1t magnum headach rack it would be a lil heavy ..but since the new OR rules dictate I don't need a rack anymore ..its no heavier than any other truck ...I could pull trains with it aswell ...no bigger 63,500 KGS

You were required to run a headache rack? 63,500 kgs is roughly 140,000 lbs, so about 70 ton, so that is quite impressive. Anything going to be done to the truck to get ready for the extreme cold and snow?
thats one bad rig Mike
So are we going to see you and Hugh teaming up on the next Ice road trucker??? it should be quite interesting

Mike, you'll make the right decision no doubt.
So, when do you take poss of the rig??

If it were me I'd sell the sled and use the opportunity to get ahead in life. Stuff the extra cash you make into a good retirement plan. Take maybe a week off and keep working when your done after the season is over. Take the rest of the year off you could find yourself dependent to make that cash next year just to make ends meet and if you don't make it next year your SOL. Reguardless none of us can decide for you but when I have trouble making decisions. I take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle and write the pro's on one side and the con's on the other. If you have more pro's than cons, then you can say yes. If more cons then no.
