    I’d say not enough for a small fleet. Maybe start with one truck......

    Fifty thousand?

    You don't even have enough to buy a decent truck much less a quality dump trailer.

    If you borrowed every dime to buy a truck and trailer that 50 cash would go fast in the 2 months it would take to get rolling and get your first paycheck.
