General repair costs?

Hey Wahwah. I understand you wanting to take your grandfather's truck out and earn some money with it, take these guy's advice though. You may not need a complete engine & tranny overhaul. Get a reputable mechanic to look at it, you could walk away with maybe $10k in repairs instead of draining all of the $20k.

If your grandfather took care of it, you shouldn't need to rebuild everything. This is all dependent on the milage / usage of the truck though. If its got several hundred thousand miles on it, it may be a good idea to get an in-frame overhaul.

Sorry about your grandfather passing away. Everything happens for a reason though. Enjoy life on the road and know that relatives who passed on have a knack for hanging around and making sure their loved ones are doing OK. I know my mom still helps me out from time to time on the other side.

 

CARS, Now you are opening a whole new can of worms.....Do you have experence hauling cars?????
Will you try to run under your own authority, or try to lease on with another company??
Do you have your own trailer??? not sure if you mentiond that or not..

I will say that car haul is probably the toughest part of trucking to get into..
