And get yourself one hell of a small business loan. Equipment ain't cheap, rates are in the sh*tter right now (least in my lane), and straps, chains, binders, tarps, tarp straps, winches, and maintanace is going to cost an arm and a leg. And make sure you get at least 90 yes 90 days of operating capitol. Then you shouldn't have to factor your freight bills because the bank will probably want your A/R for collateral on top of your house, car, mom, dad, dog, left nut, truck, trailer, all your supplies, etc. Last time I talked to a bank for a small business loan they wanted everything totally secured and wanted just about everything I had in order to secure the loan as if the truck and trailer weren't enough. Pathetic but that's the way it went. And for a personal loan they wanted my truck that's paid off worth $38000+$11000 for my other paid off flatbed. So they were going to loan me $20000 and take almost $50000 worth of collateral. This is why I hate banks. Thieving crooks! Or you could go with a private investor. Either way you need $$$ before you start thinking about making this leap. Trucks don't run on hopes and dreams, and hopes and dreams don't buy them. Good luck partner let us know how it goes for you.
