    Just a few bribes away. A few lawer groups and a few insurance groups need to pool their money to grease the wheels of a law that benefits no one.

    Only Cali will be truly screwed over since they have the other issue going on for leased on.

    Yes
    That’s how I did it
    If you get with the right company , you can make decent money .

    The company I leased
    My truck onto , had no requirements for the truck other than it had to have a current annual DOT inspection done in the last 30 days

    they had their own freight contracts and their own trailers , and no company
    trucks to complete against .

    they ran local and regional .
    I was home several nights a week and made decent Money with a cheap old truck.

    I tripped over a nice cabover with the set back steer axle and air ride drives for next to nothing and ran it for years .

    I'm looking into financing. I'm applying for my LLC next week and EIN. I'm hoping to get an SBA loan if possible. Any recommendations? I'd like to be able to choose my exact truck for my local work needs, rather than get tied to a specific dealer.

    Automotive freight/empty racks is my preference.
