Need advice

Why don’t you go work for Maverick? They have automatic trucks and flatbeds. I would absolutely not recommend trying to get into the industry by buying a truck and that truck won’t work for flatbed work.

 

Too small of an engine, no fifth wheel, your lack of money and experience. With that scenario anything that can happen will, you'll be broke before you ever get started!

 

Well in Theory ...it Sound AWESOME.But,reality you admit to being "green",i Mean a "Newb".Whichever,while there is No shame in This.Everyone that has the "courage",to climb in a truck is a "Newbie".I was a Newbie,that old "Dinosaur" at the TS in Flagstaff was a newb at one time etc.This is NOT THE RECOMMENDED TIME...to go to work for Yourself.You have to have money,skill ,know what your doing,know "the Industry".etc. You start "turning up that old Salt truck",its probably gonna start "breakin" or "self destruct". Its probably already been "rode hard" and "put away wet". Just saying...Ya,Maverick would be Great...use their $3.50 gallon fuel,authority,train,learn to drive on "their dime".JMO

 

If you don't even have experience driving a truck, what makes you think you can run a trucking business?

 

if you don't have 15-25k aside (after getting truck and trailer ) i wouldn't even think about trucking

 

clutch alone cost just 1k in parts , radiator 1200 , water pump 6-700 , 5th wheel used one 300 , bits to drill frame - ton a money plus special drill , differential 1800 .....we are talking hometown pricing and free labor if you got ability to do it . triple it on the road away from home

 

we didn't go in engine or tranny work yet ....
