Well today I started my new job at Utilimaster. I go to school part time and work full time. Utilimaster makes box trucks and walkins. They make Fed Ex, Cintas, postal vehicles, goverment stuff, and etc. I pretty much do next to nothing and get paid for it. I ride around in a van all day long moving trucks to different plants. I may move 20 or so trucks in a 8-9 hour day. I only move them a 1/4 mile max. I do about a hour of easy work a day. Yeah the 4-speed manual freightliner trucks do drift well until you spin out. The lots between the plants are still iced over. Also whats better than beating brand new box trucks, if it breaks its a defect. Nick

Yeah some are turbo diesels. I wouls say its about a 50/50 mix of gas/diesels. The ford V10 striped down walkins are pretty fast until you hit about 40. I would love to snag an intercooler but I probably couldn't fit it in my engine bay. They throw away damaged intercoolers that are cracked during transport too. It would be an easy weld to fix. Chasis come with intercoolers installed. Air brakes and air ride are awsome until you hit ice lock up the brakes and hit a speed hump without raising the air ride in a walkin. I kind of scraped the bottom up and crushed a tailpipe. My bad. Nick
