Agree.
If you do, make sure the box is dock height. U-haul trucks are not dock height; don't buy one.Lite bug and Gridaxe5588 Thank this. -
Why not? Willing to work 15 hours a day.

You’ll have no choice

Seriously, what’s your business plan?
How’s anyone going to give you an answer without any details.
Buying a box truck and working 15 hours a day doesn’t guarantee you that you’ll make any money.
Did you stumble across a solid shipper that’ll keep you busy while making $10,000k per day? If so then heck yeah, I’ll even loan you the money for a generous cut!
If you’re just going to buy the truck and then try figuring something out then that’ll be a fluff No!Lite bug, Sons Hero, gentleroger and 3 others Thank this. -
Work for whom? Where do you expect to get your loads from? Have you calculated your expenses, and how much work you'd have to win, at what kind of rates, to succeed at this?Gridaxe5588 Thanks this.

MAYBE helping people move that can't or don't want to do it themselves.

Go for it. You’ll kill it! Stuff your pillows with hundred dollar bills!Lite bug, Deere hunter, Sirscrapntruckalot and 3 others Thank this.
