    If I can find a good driver it would be worth it. The key word being a good driver they are not easy to find

    Good idea I like the sell it with the work. Although I don't know if I want someone in on my customers. I've worked hard getting them and keeping them happy

    I don't have any personal experience with this, but the graybeards around here talk about the "odd numbers rule." ie. 1 truck you'll do good, 2 trucks will break you, 3 trucks you'll do fine.

    It doesn't make sense to me about two you go broke and on three you not help me understand that.

    There isn't an exact science. One you can do all, two isn't enough money for you to take all the risks, a third makes enough for you to take care of everything else and have a couple drivers, and make a few $.Never gonna be super, but a little better than just one.

    I put a driver in my new truck and kept driving the old one myself. Will be looking for a third after the first of the first of the year if the economy doesn't do a complete nosedive.
