Was the lack of loads because of the 2500 truck or no loads at all?

Thanks for all of the information, I'm leaning towards a 3500 drw cc or mega cab with the cummins and aisin transmission with max tow package. Not in a rush though, will do more research before I buy anything. Also have to find a flat bed trailer. There are several manufacturers near me...

That is true, they are looking for drivers just about everywhere for big rigs. I just would prefer to own my own truck and be my own boss, and the smaller trucks are a lot less expensive to buy and maintain.

You think driving isn't a real job? Maybe you should go look for a real job then. Just because I never drove a diesel truck on the highway for a living does not mean I'm not familiar with diesel engines, I have over 25 years experience operating and maintaining diesel engines including trucks...

I'm still here. Just monitoring all the responses. Since I have no previous experience driving anything other than passenger vehicles I am trying to figure out if this would be something I would want to do for a living. It would be very different from anything I have done before but then I am...

What do you think of these companies? Who would you recommend them to Anyone? If not who would be good to haul for?

OK, How do you get 24.5 MPG empty? The first 2 Rams I test drove were 2018 3500 4x4 crew cabs with the 6.7 cummins and a 3.42 rear end and they both got only 18.4 MPG at 70 MPH on the interstate on flat ground. The 3500 dually 4x4 with a mega cab and the 4.10 rear end only got 15.6 MPG.

I would mostly be pulling large 5th wheel campers all over the U.S. and possibly even into Canada, and am considering later buying a large goose neck trailer to do some hot shot work as well . I would be under a load as much as I can, but no less than 50% of the time. This would be a work...

I live in northwest alabama

I drove one just like that the other day, it was impressive! However, it was only getting a little over 15mpg on the highway empty. What kind of mileage should I expect while towing a 5th wheel? Would a higher speed rear end be more economical or would it just not want to pull in 6th gear?

I am going to buy a new 2018 or 2019 Ram For hauling 5th wheel campers and possibly gooseneck trailers for hot shot work. Going to get the 6.7 Cummins of course but which would be best, 2500 or 3500 and which rear end? Single or dual rear wheel? I will be loaded at least 50% of the time...
