    I have asked a dirt contractor the same question. I also got the answer "this is the wrong time to buy a truck". So last week what did he do? Bought 3 more trash trucks.

    Something to think about......

    This might not be the right time to start. Winter is the slow time for most of trucking. Just as you get to the end of winter its tax time. If your state is like NC and you register for plates this time of year they will be due this time of year along with renewing your insurance and paying your taxes. (my insurance renews this month and plates expire next month) And don't forget about things like $550 highway use tax in the fall.

    I feel the same as most here and think that if you wait you may never do it so if it works for you go for it and good luck.

    It's like planning to have kids you can save and save but you'll never be ready you just have to jump in.
