    Go Prime as a company driver then if you like it and have money saved up and do the lease. That way you learn the business side of it.

    Or Interstate just use the search function here.

    We all want our own truck. And pick our own loads. But without having a clue of how the game is played. You can just put that idea out of your head. You'll never make it past the first week.

    Learns what's involved before jumping in.

    What he said refer to my earlier posts. Just keep in mind only about 15% make it happen. Interstate base a load board.

    He has made up his mind. Its like trying to tell you Teenager in one ear out the other... Do The shortest lease you can make sure you have some savings for those weeks where your check is 23 dollars

    There's more to credit then just a score. All the score does is determines interest rate and insurance premiums and probably a few other things.
