    I'm a new o/o and looking for advice on a first truck. I found this on Craigslist and would like some honest opinions on it. I've found some I like but they are in the 60k+ area plus I'll need a trailer as well. Thanks.

    A few days ago was looking at www.schneidertrucks.com and they have trucks prices ranging from $18K - $87K
    and dry van trailers ranging from $1,500.00 - $15,000.00

    Honestly I'm not sure 100%. I've calculated a few numbers. I want something reliable but I also know anything can happen at any time.
