Where is a good place to buy a used semi truck under $10k

Century class are still around and parts are plentiful but owners just keep fixing them and running, I have one I probably will get rid off by may (I'm with the army reserve trying to get a quick deployment)... if you are in the Georgia i95 corridor comcar is selling their international fleet with the maxxforce and m1 cooler for dirt cheap since they lost a major contract and have to shrink their fleet

 

Ok I will check it out..thanks

 

Do you know what website should I go too.. having trouble trying to find it

 

I going to drive by their terminal tomorrow I'm going to see if I see the sign with the website so I can send it

 

Biggest thing is to save your money

The more you have to start off with the better

Although that brings up other uses

If you have $40k saved up
You could pay cash for a modest home in a rural area and with no house payment and no car payment you could drive a gravel truck locally for a few hundred a week and live like a king

I have a modest rental house on 1.3 acres in rural north GA that’s worth $45k tops

Property tax is $160 a year
Electric bill is less than $100 a month

So keep saving your money , it could open a lot of doors , trucking or otherwise


And in the right circumstances you can make good money driving someone else’s truck

There’s a heavy haul company in Atlanta that pays good to drive their less than three year old $225k W-900L

If you have a squeaky clean driving record
No DUIs or reckless driving ever and no moving violations of any kind in last two years

Have a good FICO score with no repos foreclosures judgements or Liens and no back child support
No criminal record at all


They will hire With no driving experience, and train , if you can pass their background check
Which most people can’t
I know someone that was taking a CDL class at a local state vo-tech school and When Their recruiter started listing all the things that disqualifies you from being able to get the security clearance , 21 of the 24 students walked out , and when he dropped the 210 page security clearance application on the table two more walked out ,
The last guy was not even 21 and had no driving experience other than the class , but could pass the background check .
He got hired .

Nowdays , finding someone with that pays their bills on time and has never been arrested habitually obeys traffic laws , and can pass a drug screen is almost impossible

Comes with a tank trailer

 

There’s a thread on here somewhere by a guy that chronicles in detail an owner operator buying a used truck and trailer and running it for a couple years And sold it and started in real estate investing I think

 

Those were serious answers
