    I think I'm going to start a boot factory. What can I expect to pay for leather, and do you guys have any good sales leads for me?

    What about drones? Hot air balloons? Why would anyone even consider going into something they don't like?

    If you're buying a truck and running open deck, you'll want to run a Pete or a Kenworth. It has to be extra pretty with all the bells and whistles, big engine, 18spd, etc. Thats how people know you're serious and you get the really good paying freight. Dont even mess around with an aero plastic truck.
