    Well you know just buy a truck and lease it somewhere. Put a driver in it. Nothing to it. It's practically a money machine. (one that eats LOTS of it lol)

    6 figures and enough time to drive extra on the weekend AND still get a 36 in? Well, the 36 makes it Canadian, but what la-la land does this job exist in? :D

    What's your operating costs? This is EXACTLY what I want to do. Thanks. You lease to a company or do your own thing?

    Rv sticker , I assume you mean licensing tabs? That's an idea if I'm not going to work it right away. I want to restore it to like new inside and out

    Not sure on the first question yet, been reinvesting the income in preventative maintenance to make the truck reliable. I have it leased to the company I work for during the week.
