Forget the truck right now
Forget about the truck for now. Make sure you even like trucking first. Make sure you can live in a cab for two months straight.

Yes. It's better to be a company driver for at least a few years to get an idea of how things are done.

If you are going to live in a truck and never go home then nest year take 20,000 and buy a new one and go. Otherwise its a tough row to how. Also, brains dont matter, find a good bookkkeeper. Keep every recceipt and pull for an old company like Davis or someone who pays. I wouldnt buy a truck off ebay.
