Is it tuff to get loads after 4 pm or on weekends?

It can be a pain in the ### with a flatbed.

Also, I hope the rest of your post is very summarized, because at that rate of profit, it will take two solid years just to afford an inframe.

And Amazon?? Brother, you need to set your sights a little higher than the bottom.

 

It's difficult to find work ALL seven days per week with a box truck, much less the weekend. You're picking up class 8 crumbs that even hotshots didn't bother with. If you have the ability to step up to a class 8, I'd say that's your best bet.

I tried it with a box truck. #### that....

 

Friday night if they need something moved asap it's pretty much name your price. Depends on what area your in. I don't ever have issues finding freight on the weekend.

Don't jump into it. Doomed to fail with a box truck like GPD said. Your just picking up the leftovers

 

I think that you’d be doing yourself a huge favor by spending at least a year as a company driver before committing yourself to becoming an owner operator. Think of it as an apprenticeship. Your odds of success are profoundly better if you know what you’re doing by having the experience of doing it for a while.

 

Don't take this as me being a jerk but you seem to have little clue how trucking works. Without knowing where you live nobody can tell you how difficult that might be. Box trucks have never been known as a way to make a living much less good money. They go for what they do because people buying them have their own freight, think parts stores and dry cleaning, they're delivering and if they're buying they need it now or maybe yesterday.
With the hours you're looking at what you're looking for is picking up the mail from various small town post offices, you'll be falling asleep at your desk job doing that. There's simply not much for hire night time and weekend freight for box trucks.
