    Trucks are a sinkhole for money. When you are first learning let a company worry about paying the bills for repairs and fuel. During that time you can learn the ins and outs of the industry. After a while you will know if you want to stick with trucking, and secondly you will know what type of trucking you want to do, van, flat, tank etc. once you know the answers to those questions you can look for a truck that will be speced properly for the job you are doing.

    Thats the super simplifed version but i wouldn't recommend buying your own truck right away.

    Come on now, you know a Mack Superliner is way better than a Petercar.
