    Why not attempt to get financing through a lender or even go through a dealer for financing but if you are mechanical why not get a old truck and fix it up sounds like u would have less risk or issues

    If am mechanical, I've been through both automotive and diesel schools and been my own mechanic as well as the last company I worked for on top of driving and being a dispatcher manager.
    It's the 20% dealers wanted down I can't come up with, also some financial institutions don't finance trucks over so many years old. I will never own aname emissions junk, down time don't pay the bills

    You can't even save up a down payment for equipment and you think you're ready to get into business?
