Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Point blank....whether or not you have a used truck or new truck....if you can't maintain your truck like it should be and warranty doesn't matter,you will still run yourself out of business because you neglected your business took to the point of no return....so again Maintenance is key..you don't do it...say goodbye..it's that simple...you have to take care of the equipment that essentially is running your business..

 

@freightwipper ...I have a used truck and I've only seen the repair shop one time in 9 months....

 

I got mine through sfi...it was relatively new but used...but I'm very meticulous when it comes to,maintenance..

 

was going to say the same thing......I do things to this truck because I think it needs to be done (last year I drained the transmission, rear end, and radiator and replaced all fluids.......not because there was anything wrong, but because it had about 700k on the clock I I thought it was about time.) Not paying $900 a week allows me to keep my truck in top condition.

 

This whole argument is silly and just going around in circles. Obviously both used and new have benefits to the individual business owner.

Ask yourself. Do you plan on paying your truck off? If the answer is yes... Do you plan on running with it or selling it and getting back into something new?

Either way you have to save your money to be successful. I don't really think there is a wrong answer

 

I'm still shocked that people think it's ultimately better to have a new truck with payments then a paid off one...

It's an automated message. If you see an empty call it in they'll put it on you
