Ready to start negotiating, where to buy trucks?

I agree even though I dont know I havent even looked at a o/o truck yet. I am sure some don't care take care of their truck, thats just how some ppl are

 

Thanks flatbed. And thanks guys, this is really helpful. Its a big investment so its very much appreciated.

 

Ok, this is the collection of sellers Im already looking at. Listing them in case anyone has advice on these or wants to add more? I tried listing them in order of best bet from top to bottom, bottom being worst choice

Werner
Schneider
Con-way
Swift
Pedigree Truck Sales (not sure where this one ranks, no info besides suggestion)
Penske

2012 Freightliners seem to be selling. Schnieder only has 2011s rigt now. Few Penskes sold too, getting rigdig info on a few more before talking to Penske further. They are the last choice as you can see.

 

A lot of the trucks in the prices Im looking at at in other states so Im gathering rig dig info and service records before looking at them physically.

Looking at bigger sellers because need 4-5 trucks of the same type, specs and they haven't been easy to find. Really want 2013s but there's barely any on the market. Definitely going to consider smaller sellers, just wanted advice on these sellers I listed.

 

Do you guys know where I can find listings from owner-operator owned sleepers?

 

forgot to mention day cabs. 2013 freightliner day cabs w/ detroit engines. Looking for mostly day cabs and 1-2 sleepers

I found 2 under $85,000 on truck paper and 1 on commercial truck trader. Going to run rig dig reports on those. If the budget has to be bumped up then #### you have to pay to play right
