    You are 22 and live with your parents. Not that there aren't some folks of your age out there who are successful business owners, but owning a truck will require a whole lot more than $10K and some conviction.

    The average I see from experienced drivers these days is $30K in cash on hand when you go to buy the truck... and that's not for the truck's cost.

    If you want to be your own boss, keep your company job and sell Avon on the side. You have a better chance of turning a profit and all the office chicks will love you.

    Since you have the backing on driving OTR go to companies like Heartland, F&M they start you at 42 cents per mile, medical too. Do research on all truck hire and see how many companies will call you, and make your choice.

    Gucci, you've saved 10k in one year with no bills, and you make $1100/wk? That's not enough, why so little? I'm not trying to troll here but I lived in the truck, still do.

    I think Avon has been replaced by Arbonne. Can see the Arbonne warehouse in Indy on I-65.
