Starting a fleet of trucks

Any fleet that runs Peterbilt can sell you 5 of their used truck and trailer. I see lot of matching truck at the truck auction driving by them. I can't imagine buy 5 trucks and starting a fleet. Lot people try and fail. One guy one YouTube was like $100,000 in the hole with his 5 or 6 truck fleet. He has some trucks on UPS or something now. He had a good story about how he driver just messed stuff up for him and bad business luck or timing.

 

Dont discourage him . Let him try !

 

I can sell you 5 identical 2016 Wabash vans.
Far as trucks you can find sisters but that can spec would be very difficult to find in 5 I’d think.

 

Walk into any Paccar dealership

 

Many large trucking companies sell their trucks at about 500K miles.
Their websites sometimes show what's for sale and contact information.

 

If finding identical trucks is a problem ?!...not sure if you wanna engage further

 

Go on Truckpaper and you can search by the specs you want. Or find a fleet with trucks set up how you want and ask them about their trade cycle and where they do their truck deals. Then go to that dealer and put a deposit down for the next 5 that come in on trade.

 

Try TMC fleet sales. Penske. I don't think Maverick or Melton use Pete's.

But TMC you may get lucky.

 

You didn’t say what model, engine, or trans, but there’s currently 287 Peterbilt’s with a 44” flattop bunk on Truckpaper.

 

Look at Taylor and Martin auctions. They're always selling used up fleet trucks from Wal Mart and other companies
