Ready to go O/O

Well there is a lot more to the autmotive freight thing that you would understand, that sounds like it is freight that they are bidding on and hoping to get.

I would consider leasing to a company for a bit but that's me.

As for the truck, read some of the stuff I've posted because it doesn't matter what dealer you go to, do your due diligence and stick to it. Don't get emotional over the truck, it is a tool.

I also don't buy into the used glider stuff, it is a truck, and has to be checked out just the same.

 

Stay local and keep saving your money. My 4 cents.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this is the best advice, he just saved ur life!!

 

I'll 2nd that.

 

I'm from the big D also.

Dont forget, when or if u buy the thing u gotta have somewhere to park it. And in the d it's a PITA

 

Grassmid Transport out of Zeeland will lease on drivers, I have no idea what their requirements are. I'm looking at possibly starting with them, after I buy a truck.

 

If this local work pays so well , you should see if there is any openings for a hired truck....

 

I would look at lightly used trucks in the 250k-300k mile range . It will be a couple years before any major work will need to be done (if you're lucky) .By then you should have made enough for any repairs . Look for a company that pays percentage not mileage . That way it's in the companies best interest to find good paying freight . Better yet find a company where you book your own loads . That's how my gig works . Good luck .
