Thanks for the replies everybody.

We're really big on the green aspects of using the (b99) bio diesel and have been pleasantly surprised to learn that some truckers say it works better. I've yet to hear a bad word about the Cummins engines so...

We're a company that is committed to doing things green, as well as being good corporate citizens (I'm really interested in the concept of B Corporations right now too), but beyond that, we think we'll be able to use this as a way to reinforce our brand promise to our clients. As you noted cut'n'trim, it is quite a bit more expensive to buy a diesel engine and furthermore, the only b99 dealer in our community isn't that close. Still, the prospect of almost eliminating emissions will be worth a lot to us and we think, our clients.

I'll post about our experience in a few months. Thanks again.
