    Same advice as dptrucker and same thought as DEMO :biggrin_25521: Why does everyone starting out want to have a trucking company before they pulled their first SOLO load.

    You have to shift gears also. Oh never mind most the younger ones prefer the auto so they can hang there foot out the window. Anyways as far as where to start. Read the "so you want to own your own company" thread. Lots of stuff there should keep ya busy for a while
