Nice one Lee. Best o’ luck ! :grimacing:

4

Good one fella just look after it :wink:

5

well done Lee :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

you decided on what truck you want yet?

still going to look for a 143?

6

thanks the wagon not to sure i stopped looking til i got this done i did have a look a some 143s but to be honest they where wrecks and for silly money

7

that’s the problem with the 143, people know that it was the last decent Scania that was made :laughing: :laughing: and as such, they tend to ask for silly money for them

you can get a much newer truck, bigger cab, more reliable, more comfortable, more storage space for a lot less money than a knackered out 143 :open_mouth: :laughing: :laughing:

8

i can start looking again now got an interesting week ahead been in touch with some companies that have offered some tempting deals

is that deals on trucks or deals on work?

10

a combination a few things just fixing my costs to get me going i hope ive been talking to a few owner drivers over the last few weeks and heard some stories of some rather costly repair bills

11

if you are looking for finance for a truck, i can put you onto a very good bloke who will help you out :smiley:

12

thanks for that shuttle ive spoke to few people over the last couple of months but theyve seen through the "course ive got an o’licence "so time to see what on offer when i can haggle a bit for a change

13

they would see through it, they look on the VOSA website and it tells them who has and has not got one

the thing is, any finance company is not allowed to lend you money for a truck if you do not have a valid O Licence, this is why they check

14

oh no i can feel a red :open_mouth: daf been offerd somewhere shortly :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
