    honestly if you have to ask that question lease on .... rates are high now % is only way to go now ...... learn how on somebody else's money. ..... after you have built some relationships with some good agents then you can think about it and can make a intelligent informed decision on what is best for you ..... and it would be really hard to get any decent load being so young and brand new authority if not impossible especially with a tanker ...... and you just may happen to fall into something good

    Your insurance rates will be sky high for an own authority, if anybody even takes you

    Give up milk and take your truck over to Landstar.. that's the best company at this time that is going to take you... being 21 is gonna be hard to get insurance with your own authority...
