Best place to buy a semi

Never trust someone to go over their trucks that they sell.
Always get a dyno done and an oil sample done. Also, take it to a mechanic you trust to do the inspection.

Yes all that costs, but as you have already found out it costs less then not doing it.

 

Used trucks are worth scrap prices to me unless someone can prove otherwise.

Only person that’s ever going to check out a truck good is you!!!!!!

Dealers shine em up and stickem on the lot.

We just traded in 3 trucks for new. That junk is out on the front row waiting for a sucker just like you. (Uniformed)

You will continue to be taken advantage of till you take control of your destiny.

 

A good owner operator selling his truck will know everything EVERYTHING about it and everyone who has ever touched it and will have every receipt ever received period.

 

Selecttrucks has gotten pricey, I bought mine through ruan truck sales.

Freightliner..the toyota of trucks! (15' and above remind you)

 

Look it over, check it out, have a friend check it out, have a mechanic check it out, take it to shop have them check it out, have whoever you want check it out. It still comes down to the fact you will be taking a risk period.
You don't say how much your wanting to spend or how new or old you are looking for.

 

Check out craigslist regularly as well. I have found several great trucks and trailers on there. Bought a quad pup fuel tank trailer on craigslist a couple of years ago, mint condition, and paid far less than any others i was looking at, that weren't nearly as nice.
Bought a W900 on craigslist as well just last year, good finds to be had out there.
