If you only have $5000.00 then save up. The age of the truck only becomes serious when you find that a lot of companies want 5 years and newer. We bought 2 Columbia's for $11,100.00 and they are really nice trucks. Still had a fan hub bearing go out on the top of Sandstone Mountain in Va. -------1154.00 to get a call out repair for something that normally cost around $ 600.00.
NO NOT. In case I didn't type that right----NO NOT go out broke. Even if you run under a carrier MC you have about a grand in Lincse fees. Add Bobtail, unladen liability, IFTA fees, and a lot of other fees and we clunked down a few more thousand. We are still waiting for our first settlement so pulled the trucks. We had money and now are broke. Don't forget the 2290 fees.
