How can you get a car loan if you need money to buy a truck for a new job you're about to begin but your credit is bad?

Look for place advertising " bad credit" "no credit" accepted. Mind you, they're not diong it out of the goodness of their heart. They're willing to take a chance on you at VERY HIGH INTEREST RATES, and if you default, they take your car in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, this is the only route for people like you, (and me). I had PERFECT credit all my life, and when my wife passed away unexpectedly, I'm in the same boat!! It sucks but if you are faithfull with your truck payments, you may be able to re-finance in a year or two......GOOD LUCK........... As noted, the consumer should use extreme caution when using these lending agencies. Such companies are referred to as "predatory lenders" and include many conditions in the lending agreement. All lenders reserve the right to repossess secured property when the borrower defaults, however lenders such as have been mentioned include clauses that allow them to circumvent the law and seize other property belonging to the borrower without due process needed.
