    I hope you don't burn charcoal in the truck . That's a serious source of carbon monoxide .

    its really NOT that Big of deal to get started,
    1. check out the truck paper, there is a TON of trucks for sale on the cheap. try to buy 1 if you can for cash money, no financing means you may turn a profit sooner(but no guaruntees)
    2.get yur permits
    mc dot- ca#- etc.
    find a gig
    3.Find a Gig
    4. and git yur buns to work
    pharmphil has already given you 3 great posts to read, i urge you to read them and learn learn learn and learn some more
    as long as you recognise that the rates are in the crapper.
    and rule #1 YOU WORK FOR A PROFIT NOT FOR FUEL, NOT FOR TIRES, NOT FOR INS, FOR PROFIT! good luck little sister! we are here to help
