New Guy Just Getting Started

Hi,Jay,
As with every other new venture, I'm sure everyone here would agree with me that the first thing you should do is get your CDL, and then find a job driving someone else's equipment because you could change your mind quickly about buying your own truck.
Do that and save money so you can buy your own without dipping into your savings or getting a mortgage (or second)on your house. Then, if you do decide to buy, find a really good used one (a new one will depreciate about 30% the first year).

 

Good luck IT guy. I love computers, but when it's your job it can't be your hobby so here I am truckin. Idk anything about a 1 ton dually or I'd put my 2c in. Hope you find what your looking for.

 

Guy I load with in the morning used to run a dually...get a Dodge (Cummins)...he swears there is no other way to make it work...knowing how to work on it yourself is helpful as well.

 

Good luck, keep it rubber side down!
