To start off, I just own the truck and I hire a driver to drive it for me. So its difficult to assess the condition of the truck on a regular basis. I own the truck and its paid off. I have a 2007 International 9200 and its currently at 780k miles. Drivers come and go and some have thought about wanting to buy my truck but usually it's just some casual talk between us. If I am seriously considering wanting to offer to sell my truck, what would be a good proposition? I would like to see what type of agreement the driver and I can make to get this thing a possibility. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Other options: sell it on the market, trade it in, or put on ebay...

if you sell this truck to a driver sell it out right no payment plan learned this the hard way driver tore the truck up i get it back dont trust no one they will blow it up and say come get your truck

sell it out right or get a big down pmt, get a good contract for the financing, make sure that he has good ins with a low deductible, demand a dot inspection done at a dealer or good truckstop like petro or TA every 6 months,,make sure driver has decent credit too,,if me I would only sell it out right,

Is there any chance of whoever buys the truck can still do the job its doing now ? if so use that as a selling feature and as others note sell it out right no CATCH ME if you CAN FINANCE DEALS

The truck IMHO is worth about 20 to 25K, Sell it out right no payments.
