Thank you to everyone who answered my questions regarding from what kind of truck to registration to what motor. I bought my first truck. It took a while but I found it at a dealership in North Dakota about 300 miles from my home. I will be leasing to an Intermodal Company. I am still trying to wrap my head around all there is to know but I am moving forward with great excitement. I have a great tax person who knows a ton. I paid $18,000 for my '99 Freightliner. It has new tires all around, 87,000 on an Inframe done by Freightliner. There is 839 thousand miles and some change It was a Texas lease truck. I took it in last night for the DOT and the guy doing the inspection was astounding as to how nice the truck is. He went down in the pit and said that there was not one leak anywhere on the truck. The drums had been replace not to long ago and the brakes are about 50 to 60%. Anyway, it is a great first truck for me. And being a Pastor as well as a truck driver I give Him the glory for answered prayer!
Thanks again everyone who shared their experience with me!
God bless,
Paul
