    The fact that you ask that question, tells everyone here that you have no clue to what the market is right now.

    If you have the money to get 50 trucks and 50 trailers and 50 drivers and all the infrastructure to support that, you've got enough money to invest it somewhere that will actually make money instead of losing it all in the next 3 months..

    Got a bunch of money? Figure the well will run dry after roughly 50 loads?

    Sure got a beautiful country there though.

    Will you be booking 50 trucks singlehandedly off of public load boards daily? You'd better eat your Wheaties.

    It is a little easier to get contracts when you have 5000 trucks and 30000 trailers.
