I will agree with you on the first one being the hardest. Spoke to a lot of folks about it and what needed to be done. I was ready to give up on it.

 

I got approved from Mack Financial and another local bank. The truck was 75,000 the local bank was 10% down and 9% APR. Mack Financial wanted 22% down and APR was like 13%. So the local bank it was.

I sold that truck and I got another Mack now and the same bank did the loan and the APR 7.5% I just called them about a 2nd truck. and they will now do 100% financing and the APR is kinda based off the year of the truck. So it depends on what i buy. But once you get some business credit it gets better.

 

i actually have 3 "loans" like that. its almost impossible to find a traditional finance anymore. malaki, if you want i have an awesome finance company thats done right by me. my tractor is a traditional finance (oddly enough and that was my first ever business loan), my 2 trailers and tripac are "leased". what i hate about it is that i'm one to pay things off early with extra payments. its totally usless on the lease. example: my Hyundai trailer. paid 9k for it. took a 2 year lease out, at the end it'll cost i think something like 12k. but.. if i made all the payments i still have to pay the 12k. theres also a few hidden fees. like i said pm me i got a great fiance company... 2 actually

 

i wish! for me the first was the more easy one. we'll see what happens in a month or 2. i'm buying my second truck and 3rd trailer BUT i just incorporated 2 months ago. we'll see how it goes now.
