I concur with those who advise keeping the Freightliner for your occasional heavy hauling and then using a pickup truck for everything else.
I'm in a similar situation as the one you describe. I only need to haul heavy stuff a few times per year. For those, I have a Chevy Kodiac (C70). It is overrated for the loads I haul, and understressed when I do. I keep farm tags on it, registered for 30,000 pounds, which costs me $44 per year. I keep full coverage insurance that covers the truck and trailer, which costs me $209 per year. It's a gas motor, but no more than I run it per year, the fuel cost pales in comparison to the price of a used 1 ton diesel truck. I use a regular 1/2 ton pickup truck for all my other hauling needs.
I've tried to justify buying a diesel 1 ton "to do everything with one truck", but it just doesn't pencil out.
Keep the Freightliner for the heavy stuff. Get a used pickup truck for light hauling/ everyday driving.
