Greetings everyone. I'm currently doing a lease purchase deal and looking to buy my own truck. I only have about 5 saved and a credit score of 670. I live in Florida with hopes of running for landstar. I have 8 yrs of otr experience and already pre qualified for landstar just don't have a truck. Any advice or info on getting financed? I probably would've saved more but this POS prostar keeps breaking down with egr, ac, dpf stuff (09). Putting me in the hole . anything?

Get a paper from Landstar that you are pre qualified and it should be fairly easy for you to finance a truck

I tried to obtain one but was told they don't do that.

Ask them for a "Letter of Intent to Hire". They may be more comfortable with that verbage. If need be in order to pry one out of them you could try " I am unwilling to submit my two weeks notice to my current employer without a Notice of Intent to Hire in hand" That may work too, but I would try the first route.

I'll try the 2nd one because I tried the 1st. That's when they told me they didn't do those letters. Thank you. I'll check with them in the morning with that.
