Is buying a brand new truck even realistic for someone without any O/O experience and in their 20s? 50k down payment? 50 percent down??
I probably spend $800 a month in general expenses. I'm going to get researching, but I wanted to put this thread out here to see what people have to say.

It’s very hard to predict but if you are comfortable living in the truck I can’t see why not. Keep in mind OTR is not rocket science but I’m assuming you have experience as a local driver.
If you are going to buy a new tractor there is a long wait for most trucks. I currently have a build date of January 2022 and that is through a friend. Very slim pickings out there.shooter19802003, rachi, Coffey and 2 others Thank this. -
I'd recommend learning in something that has already lost half its value

going new is better than used emission trucks. But if your not going to run Cali find something pre emission that's been well taken care of that has the paperwork to go with it

Last I looked at lone mountain..They had autos in stock. Not many though. And only require 20ish down. The total payoff if you make it to the end. Is well above $150.
Manuals are special order. Been that way a few years now.rachi and slow.rider Thank this.
