That's understandable
on the flip side though in 2009 I bought my first truck cause I was laid off and it was about the only way I could support my family with the loss of that income I had of roughly 80k yearly . Now I didn't jump in and buy a brand new truck I worked my way up from a 10k truck in good shape ( 2002 ) up to a 2006 now .. Lol
but it I understand your view point but I have a big family to support wife -.3 girls 2 boys 2 dogs 3 cats
so it can be done and done to your advantage if you take the correct steps to do so and out of the kids
4 of the 5 are teenagers and the youngest is 10 .
Just wanted to to tell you that story cause like I said it can be done but you just have to do it right and think it through .
Just my my testimony as how I started as a owner operator .

My dad always told me you never get rich working for someone else because they decide your salary while theirs is decided by how hard you work. -
Financed it , and then I paid it off in 6 or 7 months in full and saved from that point and traded in 2012 for the 2006 truck

Most personal loan companies ( not banks ) .. Will give up to 10k on a secured through auto loan . It's higher interest but you can get going doing it . I'd suggest you pay it off as fast as you can but it's a starter ..
Now you will need a Maint fund up front , on my deal I put down 2000 and I got a loan for 15k which gave me 5k in operating cash flow but my loan was 13k so I gained 3k in operating funds by putting down 2k and then no payment for 45 days and my payment was 433 a month I think or maybe it was 533 but none the less it was a cheap start up -
The next trick is find a good older truck that's not ragged out and the seller will possibly provide Maint records on ..
Its doable .. I did it -
look into joining a credit union too. easier than traditional bank.
Jar-Head Thanks this. -

I'm talking with a local company that does financing for heavy equipment and seeing what kind of rates they would offer. We will see how that turns out. -
Transport Funding is one to look at .. They are the financing behind Arrow Truck Sales
