Years ago I had a Ram 3500 Cummins dually and a 25' heavy equipment gooseneck trailer. I bought both new, used them frequently for about 6 months and then parked them in my barn for 4 years. I towed about 30,000 lbs with them in a single max trip. I had a grand total of 11,000 miles on each. One day it occurred to me that I was staring at $75k cash (this was before new diesel trucks cost as much as my first home) collecting dust in my barn. I sold them both that week and went back to a gas dually Ram 3500 and a 14k, 20' car hauler. I figure it's a lot less liability exposure to breakdowns and with the money I saved I was able to buy another piece of equipment that I actually use!</p></blockquote><p></p>
