SP,
I'm like you- I prefer cash on the barrel head. Cash has no paper trail!
Clownface- maybe you should read some more of SouthernPride's posts, then add a reply. It's not my place to speak the man's position, but I think if you read his posts you'd have a more positive view.

Cash works. And ya know what?
You make the same money running an older truck vs a brand new shiney truck and don't need to worry about the monthly payments being so high, if at all......I am done with banks and loans an all their C-R-A-P.
southernpride and beancounter Thank this. -

I agree, but drivers want the big chrome, the long hood, the "look at me at the truck stop" factor. I park up in 'Bugsy' my old Western Star at the truck stops and realize there is one born every minute. I don't run the first 3000 miles of my month just to give it to a bank to pay for my truck. (sorry, their truck)

Whats wrong with a big chrome, & a long nose truck? If its paid for,run with it. But i know what your saying, new drivers see dollar $$$ & mega miles==not & think they can pay for it, only to find out that it takes a lot of work & brains to run a business.
