Buying A Truck

What you consider to be the most important when buying a used truck? What makes you trust one Truck Sale dealership over another? What benefits one truck driver should be looking for?

Buying a truck should be researched AFTER doing diligent investigation regarding the financial ability of the trucking industry to pay you enough to keep a truck, either used or new, running, plus feed, cloth, and house your family, pay for medical insurance, have money set back for any and all emergencies, AND have money set back for emergency truck repair.Having said that....There are ways that you can check on the repair history of any truck you are looking to buy. Nowdays, the VIN # is entered into a computer system, that nearly all reputable repair shops in all of the lower 48. So if you ask them to "run the VIN", you would be able to see what had been done on the truck. We never bought a used truck with over 500k miles, cuz when you add another 500k miles OR LESS, you are in need of an inframe rebuild. Generally speaking, the lower the miles the better off you will be. We are owner operators, and with the economy in the condition that it is in, I would not suggest buying a truck.
