    This kind of stuff makes me sick. Get out there and work for a living without some bs government program nursing you along.

    Let's see I can do that, but didn't. My wife is asian and I could make her CEO of the corp.
    Then apply for minority hauler status.
    Then we buy a bunch of trks. and trls. and go to the bigger lowboy places and say, hey we are a minority carrier. Give us hand outs. opps meant work. lol

    Back in the day I drove a triaxle dump truck. Its a hard business. If it rains you may not work if it is to cold you may not work. Also dump trucks area aLOT of maintenance. You may want to consider something else. Just food for thought

    I never liked any government program that give preference to race, sex, nor religion. Well, now. Our government is racist. Go figure.

    My younger brother owns dump truck and subcontracts with a guy already. He managed to find a way to make it work for him so I'm going to do the same.

    So how does giving contracts to females and minorities create EQUAL opportunity? Really it just screws over hard workers that don't want government handouts. apparently it is not discrimination to screw over white men by giving preferance to women and minorities.

    You would be better off with a class A CDL get some experience and do a lease/purchase...Fastforward Air,Inc. would be a good one to look into if,you go that route...
