Be different and get a western star. Seriously, I'd go for a KW.

Divide 365,000 by 70.....$5214 and change, Dayem!

Peterbilt all the way. If you are buying a new truck, new emissions engines have been having alot of problems that cause down time. Aerodynamics is the way to go if you want to make money, or looks if just for fun. Cat has a great reputation and support network, but detroit series 60 is an awesome power plant as well. Have fun
