    How long has the truck been sitting?
    What is needed to get it back to DOT road worthy?


    As to work, you will need to advertise what you have, how far you are will to travel with it (local, regional, OTR).
    Being an FL70, you might be limited as to what you can haul, since you likely have about an 18' bed, are limited to weight (probably 33k gross?).

    Do you have any thing else on the truck like a knuckle boom or hydraulic hoist? Is your truck equipped with a forklift attachment at the back for pallet deliveries?

    These items might be helpful for building materials delivery for Menards\Lowes\Home Depot
