    All really depends on how far you’re willing to go and what do you have to offer. If you have the money for it you can buy a truck and trailer straight out. If not you might have to work your way up the ranks with a lease to purchase program to at least get your feet wet for the next four years. It’s not that bad if you know who to Work with. Once you join a company you get the truck you finish the lease you keep the truck and you get to learn all the load boards associate it with that company. Most of which will deal with you once you leave that company and acquire your own authority.

    I just had a look at his posting history. He has a very convoluted past on TTR. In April his license was suspended because of an immigration problem, then he was bragging about abandoning 10 different trucks at 10 different jobs, while saying he is a new driver in another thread, and that he hadn't been driving for several months back in May. Said he averages 9 hours driving a day just a couple weeks ago even though he now averages 700 miles a day as a solo driver. It's kind of difficult to believe anything he says.
