    What kind of money do you have to buy equipment? How much money do you have to get by the first 30-90 days after you file for your Numbers? Check on prices for Truck and Trailer. You trying to buy new? It will be a YEAR long wait to get the truck and about the same for a trailer. Do some quick searches on this forum and you will find most all the answers you are looking for. Don't see an answer after you searched for something than ask otherwise you get everyone messing with you.

    Thanks. I won't ask for details, even though I'm obviously curious. Just glad he's still alive.












    For God's sake, give us any details you can.......

    Unfortunately between the high prices for used trucks and being chastised by the management here for overpromoting BYOB&CBD I was forced to dissolve my business and lay off my hardworking crew. I still have a few truck add-ons in my inventory and an old truck out back up on blocks that can be rented out for that OTR experience without leaving home.
     
    Woodys, D.Tibbitt, Dennixx and 2 others Thank this.
