    that 5 year (if they use it) is to get signed on. once your leased on the truck is grandfathered in.

    besides he took an older truck because he wanted the lower payment. I believe he got one of the repo units

    hadn't heard that about the SBA, as they were going to back a second loan for me a few months ago

    That's a different truck. That's a volvo/white. Different company now. Those were good trucks. Especially in heavy duty applications.

    Yea a couple months ago they was going to back me but but banks didn't want to do a start up company want you to be a current customer or had a 250k minimum when I did find a couple banks that was wanting to go through Arrow F...ed it up SBA said trucking is to high of a risk and they have to many default loans associated with it. I have call my district, regional and Washington DC SBA office and wrote a letter to the President and all I get back is apology letters

    In 1997 Volvo purchased all of General Motors' interests in Volvo GM, and changed the company's name to Volvo Trucks North America. the Volvo WhiteGMC name was discontinued

    It's still a different company, ran and designed by different folks. The Volvo/White trucks were much more reliable than the now foreign designed and made trucks of Volvo TNA.

    Its like when ford sold Jaguar. Look at the cars now. They are completely redesigned and are junk. Just because they kept the name doesnt mean its the same car. Just because its now Volvo instead of Volvo White doesnt mean its the same truck.
