    AS with any business start up, you must and I mean must have CASH on hand, not credit, not a mommy, CASH! Do you have 10,000 dollars in the bank?

    If not then you are taking a huge risk that nothing will go wrong!

    Go to your bank and ask if they can help you finance a truck it would be cheaper and the intrest rate would be lower and if your credit is really good you could get it for a really low price a month

    Don't do any mileage leases. Only one I would try is Schneider lease program where they let you dispatch yourself. Even that is a gamble.

    Buy your own truck , than put this truck to company you thing you will like. If this company will not work for you you can switch to different one. I bought my own truck and I switch in my first year 3 times. And I still have my truck and it's paid. :biggrin_25519:
