Arrow - Learn from my mistake.

I started to write my long sad story, but here's the bottom line.

• Don't buy your first truck without the advice of someone you know and trust, unless YOU personally know the units history.
• Keep in mind that companies like Arrow make it very easy to get in over your head.
• Don't believe ANYTHING the friendly salesmen tells you. Get everything in writing, and since this is America, often even that is not enough.
• Have money available, in reserve, for the unexpected.
• If you have made up your mind to "go it alone", consider purchasing a used unit from a reputable, carrier and lease it and yourself back to the carrier. If the carrier is reputable, they may assist if you experience issues with the unit.
• "Warranties" usually cover the stiff that doesn't break.

I don't check this site very often so if you ask me a question, it may take awhile for me to get back to you.

 

Look guys. I did not have any problems with the carriers I was leased to. I had problems with the tractor I purchased from Arrow. Somewhere In the forum I read about a driver purchasing a used truck from Crete, leasing back to Crete and when he had transmission issues (I think), Crete assisted. I don't know how that story ended, but I know what happened to me.
