    Hi from NC, had a CDL just about all my adult life, grew up on farm in southern Texas, so hauled grain,later heavy equipment. But it's always been for the boss, so don't know much about all the paperwork, logbook,and getting my own authority. Want to haul freight locally,flat or dry van,be home ever night. Going to sale my Lawncare to my boys, my joints are just getting to old for this. So if someone has some info Id appreciate it.

    Have you priced insurance for a truck? If you haven't, better check it out. Tens of thousands of dollars these days.
    www.OOIDA.com and check insurance prices.

    I don't know about mag. Just do whatever you think is best for you and family. I prefer a company with benefits and a pension plan.

    If his joints are hurting from the physical exertion then he definitely doesn't want food service, like Reinhart.
    That's gonna beat on him.
     
    NavigatorWife and Chinatown Thank this.
