bought new hopper

It happens. Wilsons crack a lot.
Yes hi interest but that is what you get with quicky loans. Just like the quicky car lot. But still cheaper by far than what I rent for in 4 years, plus I will own it and I did not have to pay anything down. No down costs you. But I just did not have a down payment. Better to use funds for other things right now.
Rate is hi but about 6 months ago they gave me a trailer loan for 38k , approved, no big questions or credit checks or proof of income or business records etc.. . Just my word.
So, not bad really

 

Banks want proof of everything and are picky.
My word got me this. No proof at all.
13% is hi for s secured loan but is the going rate on personal unsecured bank loans.
My credit union just loaned me 5 000 bucks. Personal unsecured loan. 13%
I think it is s fair deal.
Sure I could have took a day off work or two or 3 and went to Bank and filled out a ton of papers to get 4 or so% loan. But this was fast and easy and no great credit score etc.. ..

 

Sort of.
Steel weighs far more.
Aluminum is fine if built right.
Wilson has problems with frame.
Most frame problems are from over loading. Don't put more than 80k.
Haul from friends is bad. They fill them up to top. ( this is why you can't rent a normal Hopper only a 66" at Hopper.
Beating all that weight out of feilds and down bad roads cracks frames.
Timpte does not have a frame crack issue that I know of. Unless it is recent.
I am tagged at 85500, but I try to haul 50 000 lbs product. Sure I lose a bit when I could haul 52,000 but that over loads axles. Illegal, big ticket, some states can't move until that load weighs right .
Bad for your truck, mine costs 250,000 bucks plus these days. Don't want to tear it up. Even if my truck only cost me a hundred bucks I don't want to tear up my truck.

 

I bought my truck 1 year ago. 64,500 bucks. 450k miles. 2017.
Thought I would trade in and upgrade a few years.
Same company. Now wants 165,000 bucks for same truck but 2019 but has over 600,000 miles.
####, s year ago a new base model was 160k .
Decided to keep mine. I might fix s couple problems and sell. Use the big profit as down payment on lease of s new international. Sick of peterbilts, kenworth and freight shakers

 

Bad Hopper driver!
