Broken carpenter looking to make a change

Too right, there is a bit of squatting and kneeling as well in a thorough inspection, that caught me by surprise initially. It’s good to get the blood flowing a bit though. Thanks

 

Thanks for that, I have been reading some of the horror stories about “lease to own” in some other boards. Pretty scummy stuff going on.
Eventually after learning the business, I will need to look into one of those full service leases, hopefully at the end of lease will have enough squirreled away to get a good down payment on the next one.

I have to add, I really appreciate everyone’s advice and knowledge, thanks for being so forthcoming everyone!

 

Indeed, baby steps. That’s a lot of bread to screw up with. Thanks again

 

Thanks to all for your knowledge and insights. Would there be any advantage to being seasonal in this business? I have a pretty good gig doing snow removal in the winter, 5 month paid contract/no work if not snowing and paid in full. It offers fantastic home time. Is helping with loads (and also learning) in the summer months and retuning to snow removal for the “slower” freight season realistic or would companies not be interested in such an arrangement. I understand all companies are different, just wondering if anyone has heard of/encountered anything like this in your business. Thank you all

 

This would give a good learning opportunity, and let me find out what I enjoy and have aptitude for, and what I don’t. Hopefully would be able to learn what loses you money and what gains it as well

 

Could always help out and move something in the wintertime if the weather is good. Good to be a team player
