Go to school and drive someone else's truck for at least a year. You don't need the all the distractions of ownership while you are learning.

Invest your money.

Don't buy the truck outright. Keep that money invested with the possible exception of a down payment on the truck that you want.

Since you won't have the financial pressures that a "normal" owner operator would have, there will be great temptation for you to just take whatever loads that you want at whatever rate is offered. Please, for the sake of the rest of us who do have to run under the "normal" economic pressures, don't haul ###### freight for bad rates. You will have the luxury of being picky, please do!
