    O.K. That was Uncalled For ! ( But FUNNY ! ).
    YES ! I KNOW Miami is a BANANA REPUBLIC !

    But It's Home Sweet : HOME !
    And NO ! I've been an O.T.R. Driver for 12 of My 17 Years Driving.

    I KNOW That's where The $$$$$ IS !

    Although I've had Local Drivers that say they Make DECENT ( Not GREAT ! $$$$ ).

    Pulling Loads Out of The PORTS in Florida : Miami.....Ft. Lauderadle....Palm Beach.....Tampa.....Jacksonville.....Etc....

    That's the point.
    1000 better ways to use that money than
    Buying a truck.

    Trucks have always treated me right, I don't think I would have liked being a company driver much, probably would have done something different.

    WWW.OOIDA.com is a business website for the owner-operator.
    Seem like you can do well if you buy a truck that's California compliant.
    I was a company driver, but hauled lots of produce loads out of South Florida. The company I worked for used CH Robinson for perishable loads in and out of Florida.
    CH Robinson gets some bad press from some owner-operators, but the company I drove for preferred them because they kept the trucks moving all the time and paid on time.

    Well if you want something constructive, don't listen to this bs.

    I don't know what bugs they are talking about but O/O and fleet use of trucks are two different and distinct things.

    Another bit of advice ... you are under funded.

    Don't count on credit cards.

    You don't have enough money. I wouldn't even think about it without $50k after truck has been purchased and plated and insured with a emissions truck. $25k with an 03 and older truck that had new tires, brakes and overhauled by the manufacturer.

    You can wipe your ### with the warranty they are going to sell you.
