Hello all - inheriting a truck - could use some tips

My advice would be , if you ever actually get the truck , to sell the truck .

Odds are You won’t ever get it. But if you do , do NOT try to rent it or lease it or any of that .
Just sell it.

after the driver is paid and the fuel and the insurance and maintenance and repairs and taxes and licenses etc etc etc
There won’t be any money left over .
In fact they will be coming to you wanting more
Money to replace the tires and engine etc ,
And if their driver has an accident , the TV lawyers will be naming you , as the owner of the truck , as a defendant in their lawsuit .

 

Sell, sell, sell.
The trucking industry is filled with the lowest forms of life known to mankind. They will lie, steal, and cheat you out of everything you have. Not to mention the fact that if you own the truck you are personally liable for anything that happens with that truck.
My best advice is to go to your nearest Freightliner dealership and have them sell it on commission. At the very least you should be able to bank $50k and then run as far and as fast as you can.

SELL THE TRUCK!!!!

 

Don't listen to them, go get your license and authority. Tape a piece of paper with your new company name on the side of your truck and go make some money! Easiest money you'll ever make, trust me bro!

 

If truck is a 2019 odds are some money is owed on the truck .. It was bought to run the peak rates and now those are over it’s not needed is my guess .

 

Sell it or drive it yourself. Since you don’t have experience just sell it. You’re going to have way less of a headache. If you get a driver to run it for you he’s going to absolutely trash that truck or even worse if he kills someone you’re on the hook for the financial aspect of that headache.

 

There are no names, it's just regular trucking companies, that you have to find who will take your truck.
It's hilarious though, you already made up your mind and came here for some validation.
There gonna be a 100% failure even if you do find a company that will take your truck. Like others have said, sell and forget about it

 

Dude, seriously, if you don't even know what the companies are called, you're waaaaaaay over your head.
There are no companies like this.
