    Most people will tell you that going straight out of school into owning a truck is asking for trouble. Your first problem will be getting insurance.

    That aside, you can minimize your trouble by getting something with a Detroit motor. Shops and parts are easy to find.

    Have you actually passed any of the practice tests? I haven’t! They’re hard! Too many trick questions!

    Example, they say the following distance should be like 12 seconds or something like that. How the how hell can you see the license plate (looking for Kentucky plates) of the car from that distance?

    Maybe @Ridgeline can give a guess to that.
    I'm thinking $10's of thousands though.

    Where is your location; state and nearest city/town?
    Consider being a company driver for 2 or 3 years before buying a truck.
