    You dun ####ed up, bad.
    You can make this work, but its gonna be #### hard.
    Also, many of the questions you are asking, you need to be asking your buddy.
    He should be helping you however he can, giving you his old contacts, helping you get your CDL or a driver.
    Honestly, he should have never sold it to you.
    In any case, you need to be filing all your papers like yesterday.

    Or better yet, sell it, and take the loss. You have 10k to cover any losses, so sell it before you put your ####ing family out on the street. I can't stress enough how much of an uphill battle it will be. Hell, that proverbial hill just might as well be a cliff.
     
    Nito Thanks this.

    So you bought this from a buddy??? Looks like he saw an easy way out of his payments and talked you into a venture you have no idea about or what to do.

    Honest question.

    This has to be a joke - seriously - are you kidding?

    You have to ask my question first, before we can get to yours - because there is a possibility he really is . . .

    Can you make it work?

    Well... Trying to make a living on Central is tough. Your best bet at this point is getting it leased on somewhere and hoping you can find a decent driver to drive something that old. Maybe you'll make enough to cover payments.

    Maybe.

    I haven't looked at stinger prices lately, but that's a lot of money for a truck that's going to need plenty of shop time. Older metal is brittle, you'll be welding on it regularly.

    Jumping into a frying pan isn't the worst thing if you know that's what you're doing. You jumped completely blind. Not the wisest move.

    Hope you can work it out.

    Sell the truck, take your loss, and don't ever do anything like this again.
