saving to be o/o

if you get a maxxforce engine truck you'll need to save approximately $1.2 million for maintenance before you take the jump... off a bridge.

 

$25000 dollhairs

 

Doubleyellow had a great right up. I'd say he did his start up with frugal precision and spent quite a bit. You didn't put a location, unless your in Cali or plan on running Cali quite a bit, avoid EGR. Finance a cheap truck and have plenty of capital. I leased on with $20k saved. Still doing fine and have about $22k. Your maintenance will be severely affected by a poor purchase and/or emission garbage.

 

Save for a rainy day, Different engines take more to repair and replace
Cummins the cheapest to repair like the n14's
Detroit the second from cheapest
cat highest out of the real diesel engines
But mercedes High priced

 

My truck costs less than your maintenance…lol…
I think 5k would be enough…at least that's what i'm gonna have in my bank when I start in january...

 

Flatbed with mercer or ls and you'll do fine. When I financed my truck with the bank they did the loan as a commercial line of credit with a lien on my title. If things get sticky I could always get more money on the line of credit.

 

This is good advise... I had over 15k in repairs my first year...5k could put you in a bind.

 

I HEAR WHAT YOU SAYING,BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE STUPID FOR ME HAVING MY TRUCK(which was checked out by mechanic)SITTING ON A PARKING LOT WHILE I WORK FOR SOMODY ELSE TO MAKE THAT STUPID 20K
