    $2,00.00 gross that is a joke!! I do not want to seem like the smart arse that I am however, borrowing that money to buy something you know nothing about is not a good idea!

    ARe you looking to lease on to a company pulling their loads or are you wanting to have your own authority pulling containers??

    If just leasing on to a company ALWAYS get your own tag and non trucking liability insurance so if you quit you can just drive away. Most of the time the company you lease on to will cover your required permits including your over weight permit and IFTA.

    If you want to have your own authority and try to get loads yourself out of the ports well good luck!!
