    I am looking to get my own truck. Was going to lease one with Gibson. Supposed to get on in November. But they didn't get the work they thought. And I know how that game goes. Usually every month or so new contracts are bn bid on so they can lose or gain work any day. I am not making ends meet hauling produced water in the oil patch. Found a good contract to haul for. It I need my own truck with wet kit. Where is the best place to shop? Also the only threads on here about bridger llc are few years old. Are they still the same piece of #### they have been since then or has anything changed? Is it a better company yet?

    Agree with BYX thats actually insane to consider at the moment. Oil industry is unstable now and Awash with cheap OPEC oil. Hard to do biz here in USA now

    As it stands I'm just looking to find where I can get a truck with little to no money down. I appreciate the concern and all but I know what I'm doing when it comes to the oil field. Thank u all for concerns and replies. I just need a truck with a wet kit. I can get several trailers and contracts. Just need a truck

    Plenty of places with bad credit man. You pretty confident that all that will still be possible in 6 months to 2 years? I think we have chance to get things going again in oil but Trumps gotta loosten up regs with the EPA first. I have worked on North Slope here in Alaska 3 winters and also know oil. Right now its Dead here brother.
