    I bought a 1994 day cab for 4000 cash. I haul containers, home daily. I pay around $1000 every 3 weeks for repairs. Take home is around $2500 a month after fuel and repairs. Doing it for 2 years. Never been happier.

    Anyone with $5000 can get in this business. And always beats working for someone else.

    Compass Truck Sales in IL and TX, they've been fair to me and the title is in your name (they keep it until truck is paid off)....yes the interest is huge, but if you have bad credit, what do you expect????

    Also, they require 20% down...trucks are all used, they tell you to bring your own mechanic to check it out, they acquire the trucks and do NOTHING to them (not even wash them), you check the truck out, make a list of all defects and they fix them with OEM parts before you take possession, also they get the truck DOT'd before you take possession.....
