Instant O/O and Load boards

there is plenty of buy here pay here truck dealers around

 

True dat, true dat...hate to throw money away needlessly at the rental co. I'll look into those. Gotta wonder what happens when I got 5 grand in one and it breaks down 2000 miles away...byebye 5 grand comes to mind...and byebye job

 

What do you plan on doing with the truck?

 

Advise from other threads made me decide to change my username to bogey. I worked for a carhaul dispatcher when I was hauling campers to the GUlf after KATRINA so My plan is to haul for them. I got a prehire letter with a flatbed dispatcher as well so I would actually like to do both. HOW? Eventually, I'd like to have a 3-4 car headrack truck like the 11 car haulers use but to be able to utilize a flatbed trailer behind that it would need a low 5th wheel like those used on the 11 car setups. I have a manufacturer that would design and install one on a flatbed trailer that they sell. First though, I would just get a stepdeck and a tandem sleeper semi so I could haul steel and flat loads & for backhauls pull a couple cars or trucks to get back towards Elkhart, In or chicago (about 90 miles west)

 

hmm.. well i would say take out a personal loan, and just leave it in an account just in case something major goes wrong, but i remember you said you didn't have any credit so i dont know how that'll work.. a credit card would help for most things (tires, and short tows) but you'll mostly be falling back on the cheesy warranty of the truck..

select truck of Charlotte, NC had a truck i was looking at for 20 thou and it came with an warranty. it was probably gonna be jus drive train but that's all i'd really need..

i'm a bad mofo when it comes to troubleshooting mechanical probs. so lil stuff like lights flickering or a windshild leaking i can handle on my own..

i dont wanna see you fail, but at the same time i dont want you to get bent over.. i was considering leasing a trailer when i got my truck, i called ryder and xtra and they're pretty much the same price.. and payin 2thou a month for a trailer? heck in five months i could have bought a trailer.. so i said no to it.

i have pretty good credit right now and it'll be even better once i come off this deployment, so that combined with the 25thou small business loan i'ma get i'll use to start my endavor. a little down on a 15thou truck and a lil down on a 10thou trailer and i'll leave the rest alone for maintaince issues.. worse thing that comes to my mind is the truck blowing the engine within a month, but it wont be too hard of a blow cause i'll still have a big chunk in maintaince to have it rebuilt, and then i'll pretty much have one really huge worry out of the way.

 

greetings, y'all. What's the good, bad, or completely indifferent word?
