    The overwhelming majority of folks on this site are truck drivers. While some will use the services of pilot cars, I really doubt anyone is privy to what boards would be best for you to use. And other pilot drivers will most likely see you as competition. Thus, advise you in a direction that keeps you away from their bread and butter.

    I would like to think if it were me personally, I'd bite the bullet and sign up for what appears to be a good board. Find something to get the wheels moving and paycheck coming in. Then, as funds allow, sign up for other boards. Good luck.

    Maybe ask whoever it was that told you to buy the car and equipment?

    I believe I would have asked these questions and waited until I found a satisfactory/promising answer before investing in the equipment. I'm no business man though.

    Check your pm's.

    I am assuming that you have a truck, lightbar, commercial insurance, cones, and previous experience working for someone else. You will also need certification.
