    Thank you for being so transparent. I am just getting my CDL, and I hope to lease one with someone one day before getting my own authority.
    I whole heartedly agree with you, and your statement. ""There is no reason to rush in this business!"
    Blessings to you and your family...Safe travels while you are out there on the road.

    EVERY TRUCK I DROVE OVER 27 YEARS HAD THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM
    AND NO ONE COULD FIX IT
    THERE WAS A “SHORT” BETWEEN THE SEAT AND THE STEERING WHEEL

    Buy it cash and no one will give you any stress.

    • @PlemonsLawnCare
      @PlemonsLawnCare  Před 2 lety

      Always best to purchase cash but sometimes guys can’t do that. Most that start a business have a great plan that will succeed but if your working a low wage company job it may take them til there 50 to save for it. So take out the loans within reason and pay it back in three years and you’re set free then and building your business and making enough to pay cash the rest of the way. So I do see both sides of the aspect.

  • @TaylorHaubrich

    2:00 minutes in and I already know you done fucked up. Paying cash for your first truck is the only way in my mind. Why someone wants to take out a big loan right now when the market is so unstable is nuts. If you can't save $30,000 to buy a used truck go be a company driver.

    • @PlemonsLawnCare
      @PlemonsLawnCare  Před rokem

      In this market? You should see the video is old and know the market was in great shape when I purchased. I sold the truck for almost double what I had in it when I sold it. Sounds like it wasn’t to bad after all. I don’t care if you buy used or new they have problems. Been in and around the trucking industry my whole life and I can tell you right now they all break and have problems. It’s how you handle the problems shows what kind of true professional you are. I’d say I’m doing pretty good.
