    Think I would stick with what I am doing now.
    The economy sucks and I am seeing a lot less trucks on i-10 which I am on daily.
    I see more South of the border 2 plate trucks lately.

    Get your experience up go learn on someone else’s dime! You wanna make some money than you need to learn more then just dry van stuff.

    Agree completely! I have running step deck since I started and currently run for someone else. Paid cash for a truck and trailer, so not having payments will help but over $45K was unexpected.

    Yes, they want policy prior to making authority active.

    I thought so. Definitely shop around, but time is the only thing that'll really affect cost.

    Age of CDL is the biggest factor. Of course a clean record and good credit help.

    To get insurance through them, you have to join them. Thats only $45 a year, so no biggie...
