    I'm trying to get into carhauling for a 1ton truck drivi g for myself. I've done a lot of digging around I'm pretty sure i know what i need to do to get started. I haven't heard from anyone that has experience with this though so i was hoping to get some feedback on that. I have a few questions. Any and all advise would be greatfully appreciated of course. I live in Texas if that matters
    Any references on the best insurance?
    What is the best way to do your ELD? (Or does it matter?)
    What is the best broker to sign up with?
    I was thinking about getting the 4 car stacker trailer but can i do fine with the 3 car to get started?
    What can i expect to bring in as of income? I heard the bank will ask that.
