Timber Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hey GuysI hope this topic is in the right place. I am starting a small business and am looking into a getting something to haul with. I was thinking of just a one ton pickup or like a F450 but I came accross a 1987 Mack MS 200P with a flat bed, lift gate and 91K for under $5,000 Is this a good truck and a good deal. I do not have a CDL and from what I can tell I don't think I need one for this truck. I have always heard Mack's were bullet proof so it seems like it may be a good fit. My busness is hardwood lumber so I would be hauling logs and lumber. Seems like it would be a better fit than a one ton and trailer????Thanks for your help.Tim Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3440-mack-ms-200p/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

m5040 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I dont kown much about that model, sounds like a Renault. But you won't need a CDL unless the gross vehicle weight rating of the truck listed on the completed vehicle tag is above 26,000 lbs, (if you tow a trailer that is over 10,000 lbs, this will change) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3440-mack-ms-200p/#findComment-17169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
