I have a truck,what else is needed?

Please tell me your kidding????

Alright,...So your not,....A very good place to start would be a thread pinned at the top of the owner operator forum....

 

A Class-A license and about 30 thousand dollars.

 

Have you talked yourself out of jumping into this mess called trucking yet???

 

LOL.. well, I have BOTH

Ok, not really but close enough to make do. However I'm now 0 for 3 on trucks that will receive a mechanic's nod. The dealership is gonna drive me broke $55 at a time.

I probably will cry real tears before this is all said and done.

 

And that is the one thing I am willing to guarantee anyone starting out in the world of trucking,.........

 

changed your mind on the kw i guess or they change it for ya

 

I may still I guess. The problem right now is, the finance company was going back and forth on approving me. First yes because credit ok, then no because no experience, then yes if I get a driver, then no because the driver I submitted had terrible credit and they don't allow people to cosign for trucks and they didn't believe I was really going to drive it, just ghost signing. Tried another driver and same thing.

SO, now we know all that is left is Lot financing, in house. So it turns out they have a cash flow problem and really can't afford to do all the repairs unless they were getting the entire amount. Since they're only getting the 5 down from me, they don't want to do it. They'll still give me a healthy discount, but I really don't have another 6k on top of that to go pay for the repairs myself (plus the other 5k for insurance and authority, plus another 5k for operating overhead), and it will be risky if I put it off, so I'm not sure how comfortable I am doing that when I already have quite enough against me in the endeavor!

 

look for somebody local that wants to get rid of theirs maybe they ll let you make payments..

or theres trucks out there for 5-10 grand hit or miss if its any count
