Used. About 30k for the one with Cummins motor. And about 25k for the one with the Detroit Diesel engine.
Bought both trucks from Ritchie Brother Auction.Used Heavy Equipment for Sale | Heavy Equipment Auctions | Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers
My trucks were former Walmart Fleet trucks.
What drew you to the industry without obtaining your own CDL? Are you solo or are you partnering with anyone?

How tough would it be to manage your own trucks while having a full time career on the side?

Swift!? I thought Swift was only good for logging miles and experience to get to a better company? Are you working for another company now?

That's what I'm talking about. I left swift academy for another job. Supervisor position at a warehouse.

I should have stayed... I'd probably own a truck by now as well because I hustle hard.

Can you operate a truck business without having a license?

let’s say I buy two trucks and hire some employees. Do I have to have a CDL and know how to drive them myself?
it would help but no you personally don't need a cdl if you aren't going to be doing any driving.
