Young and have seen better credit scores then mine, so initial start up capital would be low and that's why I was asking because the lease purchase sounds like a well worded never ending contract and a truck on its last leg.... I'd really only be looking to start with a van Trailer hauling nothing that would require any special permits. Until revenue started coming.... Finding a broker seems to be easier now with the internet but what type of insurance would I need? Other then the business and truck I mean.... would I have to insure each load accordingly????

Son , get some time and experience under your belt first. Van freight is the Cheapest there is , for the most part.
DO NOT go into ANY lease purchase. Wanna know why ? Get a copy of it , the Same one you'll be Signing , and take it to Your Lawyer . Best $200.00 you'll ever spend.

The only reason for lease operators is to drive down rate. That benefits everybody but guess who . YOU.
I wish i had 5 lease operators making my truck payments, paying for fuel , repairs , cause i know where there is some 4mi freight and ill pay you 1.35 to pull it
