Expanding a business

I am in no position at this time to do so. My first year (6 months really) I am 9k in the whole.

Despite all the nay sayers in my support group. I was able to get the truck. All the proper paper work with the state and other's now I'm building my knowledge on truck repair. I'm fully aware that I will never know it all, but thats not gonna stop me.
I am ready to start learning on how to build a three truck fleet. In hopes to have 2 of the 3 trucks in early 2024. I will still drive. But independently or non associated with those three.

What would be the first step in building a strong foundation. Is it money, education, .... I just don't know?

 

I think bad planning. Eager to pay the truck off which I did. And that's when things started side ways.
To be sure I would pass the 120 land star inspection. I bought the same tires that where here 4,300 there. Could have saved money with more tire insight. Still owe 2k of the 5k brake repair. New nox inlet and out let sensors. I had to cut them out. So lost the core charge on them. Radiator reserve. A computer update. And the list continues.
Understand I'm not complaining. All of this would have been done if one of two things had or hadn't happened. One I was laid for up (parked and scared to hurt it.) 2 weeks and 2 days with a truck that wouldn't do over 45-50. Until my buddy figured out it needed a update.
Or two. Who ever worked on it before me had used anti seeze. I just broke two more bolts today. Trying to get them just loose enough for the pb blaster to get to the treads.
So far nothing needed work until it all needed work

But I'm back to work know and even more determined.

 

I did thank you!!!!
