Where to buy a used truck as an Owner Operator where do you look?

Bruce Oakley or Admiral Merchants?
I like the type of trucking Bruck Oakley does.
With Bruce Oakley, don't you need a flat top or raised roof tractor vs. a condo?

 

I’m surprised to hear Ryder had good maintenance. The risk buying a Fleet Truck is the amount of Drivers it’s had. And how they drove it. Did they learn to shift in it? Low mileage rental cars are one thing. Even if abused a bit, still good. A Truck, different story. Notice “local” Trucks, low mileage yet almost destroyed. Ryder’s prices always seemed high to Me. Also plain Jane Trucks. I bought my trailer from Penske, Lol so I can’t say much bad about them. It was used as a shuttle trailer low miles. But price was right

 

If you're going to pull for Bruce Oakley you need a nice Peterbilt!! Lol no you probably don't have to, but many of their drivers do. I've heard they're a really good company to pull for.

 

I found my Truck on autotrader, like truckpaper, less trucks though. Craigslist is Giuliani of too good to be true scams, but many have found good deals there. I like eBay also, Never know what you’ll find, I prefer private party, but sometimes Dealers just have some good deals, It amazes Me how some people try to sell their junk as is, and overpriced.

 

What's your opinion on used KW's for Bruce Oakley? These are Melton trucks.

How do you pull up trucks on autotrader? Unless you mean pickups? I can't see any options for anything larger than F350s.
