Dirt Cheap used truck and trailers. Buyers market

Drove by this place couple days back. It's huge huge inventory. Mega like to keep truck couple three years. Then who gonna buy it. O/O like to keep trucks after paid off as long as they can.

 

Not all. 90% of the owner ops I know buy new and trade every 4-5 years.

 

Yes it is. O/O has two options new truck every 3-4 years to trade it before warranty expired or keep one to the ground.

 

I bought a 4 year old with 320,000mi F/liner midroof when fuel jumped to 1.50 a gal for the 1st time for 11,000 back then co were folding much faster than now?

 

Are they comfortable and Plump and all they want to do is drive?
Then Yes, Get a New one every 4-5 years- Keeps their clothes Clean

 

Depends on your definition of comfortable. My old man bought a new truck every 5 years. Home every night, raised a family of 4 no problem off its income and afforded to keep the truck in tip-top shape. On average maybe lost a day or 2 a year due to breakdowns.

 

In those days, You could do that- under 100k for new without many options.....I Never had New- BUT, The Older stuff (Which im sure you've worked on) was a pleasure. You could actually get a bigger job done in 1 day

 

Yea an the banker needs to make money. But you know everyone has a different way. Some have a wife ( or be PC "partner" ) nah i will stick with wife who helps bring home the bacon. At least the guys i know that trade every time their drive tires are wore out. Oh, and they run, probably afraid that if they are not pulling their weight, the wife may kick up a fuss.

 

yeah,Everyone is different,

I like to walk to the shop at the truckstops and pay attention to those Rich guys getting new tires with 10/32nds left on their tires...I'll offer them $25 dollar more per tire to sell them to me directly as opposed to trades.......

I get the 'confused' look on their faces- Worked for me just a few times....

 

Who is buying these site unseen. That just sounds dumb.
