Hi Brent,

I would strongly urge you too listen too what John has to say as he consistently yields the correct answers on this type of questions. So how do we know his info is correct? John will post the written word (DOT rules) on the subject.

IMO, As too a 02 F350 DRW PSD 6spd being cost effective, yes at under 26kGCW if driven easy for 7k miles/yr. If time is money then no as it's just too light weight too handle OTR stress while pushing it hard.

There's a guy over on thedeiselstop.com that uses a F550 for commercial use at 33kGCW and he's been thru a couple differentials, clutch and transmissions in less than 100k miles with him being the only driver, so even a F550 is not adequate for that load weight.

I would not look at less than a F650 for OTR use.
