    I suggest you do some more research to find a lender who will finance you. Yes I know things are tough,yes banks won't loan money on trucks, BUT there are people who WILL finance you. Come up with a plan. Write down exactly what you want to do,when you want to do it, what the deal pays,how much you need and how you can pay it back. Sounds easy right. Wait til you start writing it down! Point being there are people who will help you find financing. You just have to do the leg work. Contact OOIDA. You don't have to like them to get some information from them. Talk to a local truck dealer. See who's doing financing now. They know,believe me, they know. Check with Freightliner. I think they are still doing they are still doing the $1000.00 down on certain models. I offer these suggestions based on past experience not necessarily knowledge of financing. I've been where you are and it's not easy,but do your legwork,put a plan together and keep looking. Just because one says no doesn't mean they all will. I still think today a good plan,presented in a professional way and well thought out will get you financed. Best of Luck to You!!
