Please be very careful with a used truck. I trusted Arrow Truck sales when I bought my first truck used in 2009 to start my journey as an O/O. It was a 2005 Volvo 670 with less than 400,000 on it. It had been a fleet truck. It turned to be a shop Queen. With in the first month I was in the shop for issues and they found 3 DOT issues. Financed it for $38 K for 5 years thru a bank. By the time I traded it off in early 2012 it had cost me 42 K in repairs/maintenance. I put $11,000 in it just before trade off. I also still owed the bank $ so I started back with new truck payments still owing on the old truck.

Btw I am under a Schneider financed truck now. Reason why is the options in 3 years. 1) keep and continue finance to by out truck, 2) trade in and get another new truck or 3) hand them the keys and walk away. Plan on it being option 3 in 2 years 3 months or 118 weeks if all goes well.
