I’ve never owned a used truck that didn’t require downtime. If you haul livestock or reefer like me you simply can’t afford to be broke down. ","replyToPid":341301}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Your first truck should be used and in good shape. You can expect 10% apr with decent credit if you’re financing. After your first year you can talk to your accountant about how depreciation works and from that you should know what you want to do for your next truck. Pay cash if you can, those payments will kill ya","replyToPid":0}

What I’m saying is if your gonna be in the road you’ve gotta know how to handle it. From that point it’s up to you,","replyToPid":0}
