    Holy #### an 18 year old that’s trying to work. I am so glad to hear it… I don’t have much advice about the box truck side of things but I bet there’s plenty of hot shot type stuff that would be better in a box truck. If you’re in a populated area I would check out the small business type operations machine and welding shops often transfer stuff to paint places and getting wet is a problem.
    Feed and seed dealers might need it
    Can it back up to a standard doc and be loaded with a forklift…things to check on or maybe you know the answer already

    You get started by asking your father what he thinks about you wearing out his equipment when he's not in it.

    I was thinking along those lines .
    More about what happens if the truck is damaged in an accident or something , and is then not available for the night shift .

    And is the insurance company going to cover an 18 year old driving it ?
