Really? That's a pretty big prize to win. Way better than the mere $10k in cash that the runner ups received.

No reason this guy can't be an owner operator completely debt free from this point forward. I'd love to have that extra profit to show every month

I was knocking the truck itself, not the fact that it's a truck.

I'd gladly accept that truck if the title came with it immediately, because I'd sell or trade it.

If I didn't have a coal fired heater I'd freeze if I kept it.

Wow! I don't know how high your expectations are but I would take a KW over any other truck out there.
It doesn't say it in the article but i would assume it is the T680 Next Gen.

I'd have said the same thing no matter what truck it is.

Trade it for my mortgage.
