It's open. You could buy a 15,000 dollar truck and Gamble it will be OK enough to run four months with out costing you too much. Save 10000 cash and get a loan from some where for 20000 and buy your cheap truck and lease on. That and credit cards will get you a seat at the table. You need 1500+ for the plate 500ish for 2290. 100 for dot inspection. You can rent a plate too.
Own authority is much more. The reserve on insurance.
Or some will say save 50000 and then use some of it as a down payment on a newer more reliable truck and make payments. Or wait wait, get a glider.
If you spent ten hours and looked at all the threads in the last two months in this section you would have a good idea.

I would posit that if you need to ask in a forum on the internet, yet are not persistent enough to find the threads that are already on here which answer your question, then owning your own business is probably not for you.
