That answers that! Thanks.
I guess the next thing to do is look at the body styles and overall dimensions of the MDT trucks to see if they would be comparable to some degree with a 1 ton dually. I have seen some that I would not hesitate to drive daily and I am not afraid of the larger trucks but I am realistic. Driving a 1 ton dually on city streets is one thing but a full blown HDT tractor is another. I know that I preach about how wimpy someone is if they don't want to drive a dually but even I have my limits.
I would not hesitate to drive an HDT down the interstate (I started out on trucks in the oilfield) but as I mentioned I would have a small daily if that was the tow vehicle and that would defeat the primary purpose for us buying a larger trailer......
Many thanks for everyone's responses. This is a tough decision we have to make. Trying to decide between Class A diesel or custom 5th wheel.
