More Bad News.....

No its not, not when you factor in the learning curve/gear/trailer a van hauler has to do in getting into flatbed

Yall had your run, i stayed outta your freight, you stay outta mine

 

So making less money every day to buy a used piece of shjit is worth everything going to sh3it. I don't think that is all that great. Chances are if they try and sell that truck they could not sell it for that cost since they will owe more on the note. You will only be able to buy it from the owner for what they owe on it. If buying from Auction that is one thing but what are you gonna get at an auction?

 

Just did a search.

Van is between $2.70 and $3.20

Flat and step between $4.00 and $5.00

Turn in those vans and rediscover your dignity.

 

Your entitled to your opinion and it's perfectly fine to disagree with my view most people do But please don't assume I want the economy to go to s..... just so I can get a deal on a truck.. your completely off base with that thought
Why do you assume I would be making less money everyday ?.. I'am quite sure I have been around trucks long enough to know what's good or what's bad.. beside you must think that Iam gonna try to buy a clapped out Volvo from some guy in a yellow stained tee shirt and flip flops.. thats hardly what I shop for.. I have my checklist and criteria when I go to buy trucks or anything else
I'am always shopping no matter what the economy is doing it's easier to make deals when sellers are in a bind.. and you are wrong about buying for less than what's financed also... because more than once I've bought trucks for less than what's owed.. you just have to know how deal with the bank.. in case you didn't know most leading institutions do not like to have to repo anything it's a PITA.. so most of the time they will work with a buyer

 

I understand what you are saying and agree to appoint. In making less money is basic information for everyone. If market crashes no one is gonna make the most money they can make when it is hot. Now maybe the dollar is worth more with the market crashed? and worth less with a good market? Either way I honestly didn't care just typing on this #### computer waiting for my truck to get finished. Ha Ha

 

Oh I understand you point and it's a good point.. and I'am glad you called me out on my thoughts..
Personally I don't want to see things go south with the economy.. it hurts us all..
I wouldn't even want to speculate and the strength or weakness of our dollar..
I have my own conspiracy theory of what our government wants our dollar to do but .. that would atleast get my post deleted and jeopardize this thread so.. I keep my theory to myself ...lol
I hope you get rolling again soon .. and grab while the grabbing is still decent

 

I agree. Generally, success is a choice. So is failure. When you waste your given abilities from the one upstairs and waste them, it’s a choice. You know those who always seem to win. Look closer, they are doing something different and better. Take advice from a winner in their field, never from the mediocre. The mediocre will drag you down with excuses. Winners find solutions. Improvise, adapt, overcome and Fortuna Faviet Fortibus.

 

Yeah not worth getting kicked for having a conversation about politics. Ha Ha

 

So is the driver shortage behind us now?
