    Zero experience here, only drove cdl school truck 4/5 times before I bought mine and started my own business/authority. I grew up on a farm so I knew how drive bigger stuff and knew what kind of time and effort running your own business requires. Still here 18 months later, though knowing and having the stuff the fix my own equipment has helped a ton.

    Just jump in and go! Nothing like OTJT.
    I quit my job and bought a truck 2 months later, that was 20 years ago.
    I had friends in the business that I could go to for info & help, which I think is critical.

    You think when the time comes I should be able to buy only my tractor and maybe down the road a trailer later. I feel like people only buy their trucks anyways not so much a trailer as well

    73,280. Wow. Been awhile since thst number has crossed my mind. Now I might have the colors crossed but pay the tax at Ms. scale if you had the red sticker. Good to go with the green one.
