Im biased because of driving big trucks.You could be fine just driving around your state.It would be night and day difference with even a single axle diesel light truck and a ton truck.Trucks are cheap now,look up Truck Paper.com and see how many are say 5000 dollars,look for a single axle International,Freightliner,Ford,Mack,even one with a box on it or something.Some will be high priced,but some wont.A lot depends on why they are being sold.Some sellers are in it to make top dollar,others are in it to move stuff.You might be surprised what you can find.If you did manage to tear the transmission out at 7000 miles a year you would be doing something.Might even get better fuel mileage than you do now.You want to stick with a Cummins motor,then maybe a Cat or Detroit.Probably in the late 1980s early 1990s before the computers for cheap maintenance and easy to fix.You might find a Volvo,with a Volvo motor,but who knows where you could get parts for it.A Ford diesel motor might be great,but you might be in trouble if you need an injector pump.Old 2 stroke Detroits would maybe be cheap,but they are getting old and harder to find people to fix them unless you know yourself.Air brakes are way better is the reason most people give up on the ton truck rig.Usually after a close call.
