    Can a person make it buying a new truck running a local run with fuel prices the way they are:smt102 and what does it cost to get started from ground up minus the truck cost.

    I'm usually eager to try and help out a newbie with advise, regarding becoming, or at least wanting, to become an O/O. (not that I am the authoritarian by any means whatsoever)

    But these general and vauge questions are difficult to answer.

    Narrow down your questions, and ask in explicit/specific terms, and maybe we can help.
