Purchasing a New Versus Used Truck

March 3, 2010 · Filed Under Automotive, Trucks · Comments Off 

When pursuing a career as a truck driver owner-operator, there are many things to consider in taking the next step. One of them is how to get a new truck. Rather than leasing one from an employer, it is always more profitable to own one when the work is available or if someone wants to own their own company. Deciding whether to buy a new or used truck is key in making a profit versus barely getting by. Obtaining commercial truck financing is usually the difference between buying a new or used vehicle.

New Equipment

Having a new vehicle of any sort is always nice, whether it is a personal vehicle or one used for business. It has a special smell, is spry and comes with all of the state-of-the-art features. Paying for it is the biggest obstacle most people face. Excellent credit is required. Many lenders are leery of first-time owner-operators purchasing new equipment and may not be willing to qualify the applicant for a loan. Once the person is approved, several things must be done before the truck is road ready. Paying for taxes, titles, tags and a business license are also required. Making regular monthly payments on the vehicle regardless of how much money is coming in is also a consideration. Keep in mind that payments are higher for a new truck than an old one. Read more

Truck Driving on Mountain Roads

December 29, 2009 · Filed Under Trucks · Comments Off 

Driving a big rig on a mountain road is very different from traveling on a flat highway. With the immense amount of weight being hauled in your trailer, you’ll want to be sure you get down the mountain safely. But before you go down the mountain, you have to climb up.

For the most part, you need to find the highest gear possible to pull you up the mountain, but when the truck starts to bog down, you’ll have to shift into a lower gear. You also need to keep a watch on the temperature gauge. Even though the truck seems to be taking you up the mountain in a high gear with no problem, it may begin to overheat. Shift down a gear – you will travel slower but are less likely to have an overheating problem. Read more

The Rising Cost of Fuel Forces Truck And SUV Owners To Sell

August 19, 2009 · Filed Under Trucks · Comments Off 

If you haven’t heard by now, people are selling their large trucks and Sport Utility Vehicles as quickly as possible because of rapidly rising gas prices. Most owners are reluctant to see their prized vehicles go, but they are finding that it is just not worth it to keep them. With the average price of regular unleaded gasoline once being at over $4.00 a gallon across most of the U.S., Americans are rethinking their need for oversized transportation.

In the early 1990’s, the SUV began rising in popularity, boasting its high power, off-road capabilities, and larger interior space with more seating. Pickup trucks, which were historically purchased by blue collar workers and those who live in rural areas, have become trendier in suburban circles, and have also increased in size, adding an extra row of seating to accommodate families. The minivan and station wagon, which had reigned supreme as the family vehicles of choice, suddenly became worthless, even an embarrassment to own. Read more
