Truck Buying Guide
A Success Guide to Buying Your First Truck

Welcome to my Truck Buying Guide. It has been designed to be an ongoing informational guide to both the first time buyer as well as the seasoned veteran. This guide is by no means the last word on this subject and I encourage you to use all the tools at your disposal to make your decisions. Unfortunately there is, to my knowledge, no book on the market that is specific to this subject. I wrote this guide as an attempt to dispel the "truckstop myths" that you may hear from other drivers and provide clear, easy to follow steps to make truck ownership your reality rather than just a dream. This guide is designed to help you own a truck with the lowest risk and highest level of benefit to your operation. This guide will cover many subjects including:

• First steps to ownership.
• Obtaining financing.
• Obtaining registration both for intrastate and interstate operations.
• Obtaining insurance for your operation.
• Getting contracts for hauls and getting leased onto major fleets.
• How to anticipate and prevent business problems by using truck accounting services.
• How to initiate a phased maintenance program designed to lower downtime and costly "on the road" repairs.
• How to choose your next (or first) truck to maximize fuel economy, cost effectiveness, and reliability.
• How to negotiate with dealers, haul sources, repair shops and lenders to get the most "bang" for your buck.
  

In short I'm going to give you FREE on a silver platter many of the techniques large fleets use to lower costs and increase their bottom line profits. To my knowledge you won't find this information anywhere else. It is hoped that you will use this knowledge to make your operation as successful as possible and also that you will remember WHERE you got this information. I buy and sell used truck equipment. If I can be of service to your operation I welcome the opportunity to do so. My contact information is shown below. Also if you'd like timely new information, as it becomes available I strongly suggest that you subscribe to my monthly email newsletter. The easy to use form is shown below and you can opt out at any time.

I thank you for your interest in trucking and for visiting my website.

Yours in successful trucking,

Doug Shields
