    Hey guys, Im in the market to buy a truck and have been searching for a while now. It seems like these used dealers purchase fleet from somewhere...where can i go to purchase one of these myself? Like i saw one guy selling old transport america trucks, i was wondering where he gets them from like 10 of each at the same time :) Just trying to save some money here! Any auctions or anything of that sort?

    Auctions are usually dealer only, and in my sate a dealer license is $10,000.00 per year. Best bet is to find companies direct selling the trucks themselves, if you're on a budget.
