Bought my first trailer but title is tied up

This is what you do.... tell him they need to overnight it next day or give you your $$$$ back. No reason it should take a week. Something doesn't smell right in my opinion.

 

I call this a self-inflicted wound. Should'a asked to see the title before handing off the check.

OTOH...

Why stress about it? look for power-only loads, and grab them, while they sort it out.

 

Agreed.

Some companies that lease trucks do not have the titles to the trucks they lease because the trucks are financed by someone else or leased from someone else. The seller may be playing a game of using your money to pay off their own debt.

 

what you mean? no one has to know you have a day cab...

pull up, hook up, off you go.

need to sleep? find a motel....easy

I just talked to a broker that wants me to run a 700 mile round trip with 3 stops VA/NC/SC for $1500 (before we even started dancing). I dont have a trailer

 

Yes do this.

Don't buy the crap about corporate, tell them you want to nullify the sale immediately and you want the money in your hands by the end of the day.

No excuse for this, it doesn't matter what the terminal manager knows or doesn't know, he screwed it up, he has to fix it.

 

Then get the financing company on the phone and tell them to cancel the check. It's not a hard thing to do.
Once they cancel the check take the trailer back and start looking for a new one.
Heck, go to one of the trailer rental places, sign a 6 month contract so you can get back making revenue, then keep your eyes open for a good deal.
The fact you are not working over something as silly as not having a trailer tells me you need to adjust your thinking if you ever want to actually succeed as an o/o

 

Yeah what zvar said.

You are the party in control and making the purchases, not the finance company so it is your your call.
