I do not have CDL. Now I want to start my own company. I will work with a driver for my company. I want to lease my truck to a company as OTR. The recommendation I have either go with 2007 or the new Freight liner truck. I was told truck between 2009 and 2013 have DEF, DPF and a lot of computerized systems which is very expensive to handle. When I check 2007 , most of them are 900K to million miles on them already. My budget is upto 50K. what do you recommend the best truck I can have as my starter truck ?

why Frightliner ?
-
-
They have a dealers spaced out all over usa but some of their newer trucks have more plastic inside than other model trucks?

Ok
Thy also have no resale value
Parts are cheap ur right and there's a reason for that
But if u are happy and u can tell ur self as ur walking to the fuel desk after u fuel and u turn around and look back at ur Frightliner that there's 4 more in the fuel bay just like it cause the parts are cheap and say to ur self man that's a beautiful ride I love that truck good for u
A Frightliner is just a Frightliner there is no pride in driving one its just truck
If ur going to go in the trucking Business buy a truck that makes u proud and b in love with it baby treat it like a lady
I'm just saying there's no PRIDE out there anymore buy a truck that separates u from the rest
This will all make sence to u some day I hope
Many blessings to u brotherstayinback, Dye Guardian and T2T Thank this. -
Er... not to be a turd but you don't even have a CDL? How much industry experience as a whole do you have? It's one thing to read things on the internet, it's a whole other to actually have driven and gotten some experience with trucks. That said, if you're determined to start this and looking at trucks of the 2007 vintage, you need to find one that has gotten an overhaul done to it recently...or else you will be in for a world of hurt.

tommymonza, EverLuc and RustyBolt Thank this.

I hope you plan to have a second full time job. Unless you can find some really gullible student driver to run for 20 cents a mile, you won't be putting much in the company bank account on one truck.
T2T Thanks this. -
But I appreciate your valuable advice.... -
