Has anybody considered a non-cdl straight truck to haul cattle or hay over a trailer? I saw a brand new International 4300 with a livestock body this weekend at a local feeder sale and wondered why you don't see more of them. I don't know what a livestock body would cost but after looking at some used International 4700 trucks on truckpaper it has to be cheaper to just get a straight truck and put a body on it.
I understand that insurance and maintenance would be higher but the striaght trucks are built to last longer. Any thoughts?
