Finance/ loan companies for first time owner operators?

[Rawze]

It does not matter what you do, you will need a few thousand bucks (more like an extra $5,000 or so) up front to get things fixed up, etc. and to cover your costs while getting things going. If it is a loan you are taking to buy a truck, -- get extra money to get started with!. If you end up not needing it, any money not spent can go right back on the principle within the first month and nothing is lost by doing this.

I have met a lot of drivers in the past that have really nothing much to their name after buying a truck,.. then end up in a world of hurt and struggle trying to get things going after. There is always that down-time and those little things that eat you up and make it hard to get started without some capitol to get you going.

Just some words of wisdom.
