Where to start with buying trucks

I’m not sure how any advice on here can be that relevant as you say that you operate abroad (but not where), and do not need an O Licence (lucky you!)

Generally european spec trucks have different model numbers and axle weights to UK ones, and as you are looking at used I would just “Google” used trucks in your area/country, then pop down and have a look as you have a pretty good idea of what you are after judging by the pictures posted.

Not a dig, just an opinion.
