If you are wanting to continue with Tri-state I would search EO classifieds in addition to calling Tri-State's recruiting dept.
If your credit is shot, you will encounter problems. You may find financing but it will be at high rates.
Maybe consider a used van that you can pay cash for.
Again, EO classifieds.
My personal choice would be to drive a straight or a tractor if you have the license. Alot more freight and flexibility.

Call Phil Weiner At Tri-State he can hook you up with an owner. He was my recuiter when I had a truck on there in 1995. Phil is a great guy. Good luck

Well, I started with little on hand. I do not reccomend it. I've made it about 2 months. It's hard to sleep your 10 hours if you lie awake at night worrying about finances. I managed to survive the first breakdown. Dropped a water pump. But thanks to good planning and saving, i'm still rolling, just with less spending cash.
