{"replyTo":"","text":"1. Doesn’t matter as long as she pulls. 2. Best truck is any truck that makes you money. Best price is one that’s a few years old ( I’ll never spend more than 50k on a truck) then when that one is wore out in 10 years go get another. 3. Warranties are difficult to deal with.  I’d recommend no warranty and just pay cash for repairs. Finding a good contract/ company to 1099 to as an owner operator is of much greater importance to success than the truck. These new trucks with all the emissions equipment are a nightmare. I’d get a 1998 tractor in good shape. Good luck","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Yeah these companies sell you on good service then you go to collect on it and they’re like nah, we just like collecting the premium. We’re not good at paying out on warranties. They do that because there’s little legal recourse for the consumer. You’d have to take them to court and spend time and money which they’re betting you won’t ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Excellent advise. Especially the warranty part. Stay far far away from TruNorth. I got burned big time last year. ","replyToPid":339506}
