    Welcome. Can I have some money please?
    I think this is a great place and have always thought it could be a great tool to network and make new friends.

    Well sure! I finance trucks trailers and construction equipment all over the US - so yes you can have money. I guess the bad news is...at some point you do have to pay it back. Free money is just a tough thing to come by...right?

    Im not sure...But its probably HARDER than buying a $300,000 home....

    id think a score of 700 or better plus 10% down cash or trade

    Remeber folks...Class 8 trucks are considered very high risk............plus the value goes just like a car

    Someone said something about credit scores...which is what its all about... Again generally speaking... Good credit scores for used trucks usually mean rates in that 8% zone - sometimes more sometimes less depending on overall profile. Lower credit scores mean higher down payments and higher rates. If you drop below a 650 score you will likely need 25% down. There is a program that if your credit is very poor but you own free and clear collateral like trucks and trailers to put up that are equal in value to the unit you are buying - we can get you approved that way too. Then theres the 50% cash down program is there for those who have nary a pulse. Rates are high but it can be done. Are we having fun yet?
