    Putting the horse back in front of the cart would be my suggestion.

    Do you mean to the truck itself, or, paperwork to put it on the road ?

    You get it D.O.T legal and lease it onto a computer you like. If lease onto a company they will have all the insurance and D.O.T inspection done. So you run under their authority.

    No disrespect but if you don’t have any clue.... you are in for a rude awakening. If you have the funds to back you up while you get organized, you might have a chance.

    I agree, all the research, and knowledge should be ones first step. Waiting until one has purchased a truck, than trying to figure things out while truck sits not making money. Is not the smartest move on anyone's part. The truck payment, and loan company are still going to want that monthly payment.

    If you have all that. Are you wanting to run own authority, or lease to a company? If leasing on to a company, than you will need to find one that fits what you want to pull (reefer, dry van, flat, etc)
