Where to buy a used truck as an Owner Operator where do you look?

I would avoid all the sources listed above..

 

I like Truckpaper and Auctiontime

 

What I like about Truckpaper.com you can specify what kind of truck you want, what year model you want, engine, sleeper or day cab etc. Also it has keyword search you can put in words like overhaul if thats important to you

 

Would you buy a former rental car?

 

A few drivers have posted on here they bought from large trucking companies and did ok; satisfied with the purchase. One I remember bought two from Melton Truck Lines and some bought from TransAm.

 

I personally just like a truck that whoever drove it took care of it. Not that there aren't any fleet trucks that fit that, but they are somewhat rare

 

I just bought a former rental car. Las Vegas is loaded with them due to tourists flying here, then renting a car during their stay. Those cars are practically like brand new and most are less than 20K miles or 30K miles and cheap. In fact, when I started looking for another car, I specified I wanted a former rental car. AutoNation was cheaper than Carmax, so I bought from AutoNation.

 

You do you own OA.
