Default Used Freightliner
Hello fellow trucker's, after a few months of looking for a local gig (with no luck). I've decided to purchase my own tractor and lease on with a local company. My question is, what do you guy's think 30k (my budget) would allow me to purchase, I'm looking towards freightliner century. Thanks.
