Buying A Truck....

That's not much in my opinion, there are trucks with 800k for say 25k. PharmPhail if you're going to be running end dumps you might have to get up early to get to the plant's. I want to buy my own rig right now and go and run for the company my dad run's for but just a dream for now maybe later ill be running side by side one of you guy's with my own truck.

 

Uhhh.. doubtful, if I'm there at 6am most likely it's because I'm STILL UP. Shoot, anytime is too early if I'm still tired... I hate waking up.

Luis that truck is only 5k in savings and a pair a brass balls away. Don't psyche yourself out of it, especially if you know you can get freight.

I agree, from what I'm seeing at least from dealerships, you're gonna spend 20k for anything less than 10 years old, pretty much regardless of the mileage.

 

ya a pete or KW mabey. not a shaker. you may be seeing them advertised for it but they aren't selling for that

 

Yea they catch you with that, and then you got hidden fee's some dealers advertise with the cash price. Ive been looking at truck's, there are some deals out there because of the economy if i was older and had my cdl i would by my own truck at 23.

 

Well, no I was talking down payment, not buying outright... though in the 10k range you might find something.

I didn't realize you was a young'n... sorry bout that!

 

It's ok it happens. A truck in the 10k range if it has an overhaul and a decent bunk and interior.Then you got a workhorse and a moneymaker.

 

Yea start out, with maybe a freightshaker later move on to kw and pete's that's the best way to go shaker's are easy to work on especially if your a newbie to the whole trucking thing. That's one of my plan's going driving a truck.
