If you know any good used truck dealerships out there, please let me know. It can be anywhere in the US. If you are happy with the support they provide, please let me know. I'm looking to buy a used truck in the near future and I can really use your professional advice. Currently I have a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia, leased through Schneider Finance. I have just fulfilled my 1st contract (1yr) and in Nov 2013 signed for another 2yrs. The problem is with weekly payments ($750/wk) there is less freedom, especially if I want to take winters off ( can't do that with a weekly truck payment). I have decided to fulfill my obligation of the contract. In the meantime, keep saving $ and improving my credit. That way once my contract is up, I'll be ready to get my truck elsewhere (with LOW MONTHLY PAYMENTS instead). Now a buddy of mine bought a truck from a dealership that provides support if anything goes wrong with the truck ( they go at it 50/50 if I'm not mistaken). These are the type of dealers I'm looking for. If you know of any good ones out there, please refer me to them. I will appreciate it so much. Thanks.

I've done bussines with the freightliner dealer in St. Cloud,Mn.
I like them and their support. -
Thanks for the feedback. Will look into it.

Talk with Dewanye, He's the head sales guy there. Tell him Carl said to call..
They can work with alot of things and they also have different finance programs available -
I bought my truck from Arrow Truck Sales, financed through Transport Funding, their lender. I've had no problems with them. They corrected everything I wanted before I picked the truck up. The financing was seamless with the purchase. They have locations around the country, and they will ship a tractor from one location to another if you want to buy it. Also, they are a subsidiary of Volvo Trucks.

Thanks again. If I contact them, I will mention your name Carl. Appreciate your input.

Arrow Truck Sales. Seems like they make it easy. Glad to hear you haven't had any problems so far. If you don't mind me asking...What truck did you get from Arrow & how long have you had it?

Have you looked at Penske? Most of their units seem to be fairly high mileage, but are well maintained with good records.

Have you bought a truck from Penske? If so, please tell me all about it.

I bought my 2007 Volvo 780 from Arrow in Troy Illinois in October 2011. 593k, still have it at almost 850k now. They covered an initial air conditioning problem that I discovered on delivery, and paid 75% of the cost of replacing the water pump nearly 60 days later. I bought no extended warranty. Of course I have paid tens of thousands in repairs and maintenance since then, but that is to be expected. Transport Funding will absolutely ram you up the rear on the interest, no doubt. But I must say, overall I am/was happy with everthing. I would buy from them again.
