Buying a truck from my employer?

Chick McGee is a funny, funny man!


As far as the truck deal goes....What does your gut tell you?

 

Buy a Kenworth?

 

That's what I always do....

 

Good choice! Whats a Fast Card interview?

 

A cow is a cow, whether it is brown or black and white.

And this lease deal - well, probably not a cow, sounds more like a "pig in a poke." I think you are right in passing this one by.

 

I think someone might have already mention it before but the best thing to do I think is to buy truck and get your own authority and hope for the best. Two things that will most likely put you under is hauling cheap freight and breakdowns. If you can`t do some of your maintence your self you better be learning pretty quick. The money you save will help when the major problems come a long and if you are not established pretty good when a engine or transmission goes you might not stay a float. Hauling cheap freight will just ware your equipment out and you will have nothing to show for it. I am going to try one or two of my trucks with JB Hunt pulling their trailers, I hope that quote don`t come back to haunt me. I do produce loads and as everyone knows most produce especially in Florida got froze out. So this has got me to looking at other options as of now.

 

Where can I find a ex Walmart truck at that price? 10 to 12 grand?
