    large truck vs small truck?

    Hey all, new to the forum, I've been scrapping in the summers and off and on throughout college, started abut two years ago and its amazing how fast you learn, and how many people have you running all over town to pick up metal! word of mouth really helps! I love scrapping, Im currently in school for a business degree and if it was possible, someday I would love to be able to recycle metal full time, working for myself. Now, i know in this business, to make money, you have to make sure your costs are as LITTLE as possible! (gas tools time being key) now my question is about my work truck, a 1991 mazda b2600i 4x4. This has been a great truck and is my second mazda, LOVE these trucks because they seeminly run forever.....I NEVER have to put any money into this thing, it just keeps puttin along. That being said, would it benefit me to get a larger truck?? the way i see it, yes my mazda is has smaller bed capacity, but the way i see it, im saving a ton on gas! I get around 19 mpg in town.....worthy trade off for lack of hauling space?? or would the bigger truck help more?? thanks!
