What are some options to purchasing a Semi

Best advice right there^^^^^^

 

I have been driving for 5 years. The first couple......I didn't know squat about this business. Still don't know much. But.......I do know that you are heading in the wrong direction right out of the gate. Get your CDL however you please, then go to work for a Company that is in the trucking sector that interests you most. There is lots more to this industry than "buy a truck, haul freight, get rich". Over 90% of new drivers wash out in the first 3 months anyways. Don't become a statistic. Good luck

 

Call local lumber or steel mills. Ask if they use O/O drivers. Many of the bigger ones have loads on load boards but also take on an O/O.

 

OP isnt 21 yet or has CDL

 

Good point lol.

 

Call and get insurance quotes before you do anything, don’t lease

after the insurance company is done laughing at you, unless you have a lot of money from another business venture you want to write off, spend a couple years in someone else’s truck,

 

If you are of able body ... become a commercial HVAC technician. Best advice I can give you as an Owner Operator
