    Been watching Troy Massey videos and the guy seems to be absolutely balling. He has lots of trucks so I assume he owes lots of money. Is it practical to buys several trucks on credit or his he just lucky?

    Seeing how he owns over 400 trucks between two companies I doubt it’s just luck.

    It depends on your business credit, down payment, proven revenue.

    He owns ~330 trucks, he has if I remember finances at 60%. This is normal in medium fleets.

    Define “balling”? I know what it means but what did you see that makes you think that?

    Must be about some kind of tax write offs or he just really likes going to truck shows. Prob a little bit of both as it can be used for advertising just the same. Cant be mad at a guy for doing what he wants and having some kind of fun on the way.

    I know he has two companies, the last I was told it was around 330, and that wasn't too long ago.

    kind of a waste of a truck IMO. I mean, it's a late model Peterbilt, not a WW2 era Merlin engine.
