    Ive got 2 1/2 years OTR experience, based out of Southern CA, and considering going O/O. Would like to start looking at trucks, any recommendations on places to look in this area?

    A farm auction might be a good place to start

    The Ritchie Bros auction in Perris can yield some good deals. I recommend going to an auction first to see how it works and have a plan for when you are going "for real". IMHO buy on the 2nd or 3rd day from a fleet offering. For example a fleet of 25 identical models you want. Buyers with a winning bid will then be asked how many of the 25 they want and then bidding reopens for the remaining balance of the fleet. Wait until there are a few left and you may be surprised to see the deal that can be made.
