    Im saving money myself through hard work. I might have to borrow some from credit union Im member of but I try not to have too much debt and pay as much cash for my truck as possible. That way I wont have to worry about oh crap, I have 2K payment on my truck at the end of the month.

    You need to have some kind of back up cash money in the bank credirect card with low interest you could probably have a dealer finance you but u need some money down you hear about guys doing this do you also hear about then going broke 2 months after buying my $28000 truck my head gasket going out $9500 to have it replace then a month after that my compressor and power steering broke $3700 who knows what else going I am just going ture my savings like water running down the drain. Hopefully it will get better I say you need to have money and experience to be a o.o but if u think u can do it go for it.

    Getting a truck is the easy part. Trying to keep up with freight and rates is the hardest part.
