    Two thoughts... One, this industry took a beating by the recent economic turmoil but seems to be on the rebound so probably has a lot of potential. Two, just thinking that it would be a good idea to tread carefully if your idea is to lease a truck to pursue this venture because a lease for 'personal use' that then is being used commercially could cause a lot of trouble and the high mileage that a towaway venture will incur will be pretty telling that the vehicle wasn't only being used personally when it comes time to turn in or buy out the lease.

    Yes I bought a 2013 chevy.I realize I will put a lot of miles on it. I figure about 90,to a 100 a year.As long as I keep up on maintenance and repairers I should be able to get 5 years out of it before I have to replace it.I just want to make a reasonable good living out of it.
