    Hello trucking community

    I'm on here to find out about purchasing a 18 wheeler. If anyone could give me any advice on purchasing an older truck vs a newer model truck. The help will be highly appreciated.

    Trucks only come with 10 wheels. Maybe 12 or 14.

    If you already own a small fleet of 5 hotshots you should be well versed in doing research on business, trucks, trailers, etc etc...

    Click on the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your screen and search for whichever questions you have. As I stated in my first response this topic has been covered over and over and over again...
