    Somebody did you a favor especially if it was powered by CAT. 2008-2010 are the worst most unreliable years of emissions.

    you're still low. try 140K unless you look at a glider for around 130K

    a new truck is way north of $120k dear sir. there are some good companies out there that still don't force you to get E logs depending on your record (work history/moving violations)

    What's the usual down payment a bank will ask for a 130k glider? (Average I mean. I know every situation is different)

    Can you give the names of some companies that dont use e-logs? I would also like to be based out of south FLA. Thinking about moving down there.
    And it would be nice to be able to go out west too, if I wanted. A lot of companies down go west of I-35 with solo drivers.

    is this thread a joke? with all due respect and no pun intended who believes living in south FL can land you a good company to work on the states? maybe in cuba.
    and who now on day believes a truck brand new is 70k ??
    maybe I'm lost but I believe OP is pulling our leg.. to all.

    25-30% pretty much guarantees financing for bad credit, though the interest rate may be a bit steep. It just depends on credit and trucking history.

    Must be a Columbia with a Mercedes or CAT engine. Have fun with that!
    BTW, that's an 8 year old truck.
