Loggers: Cost to convert truck?

Yeah SP is really nice don’t get me wrong, It’s a super good job.. but i like the fact of making a little more money, not having to answer to 10 people, having a truck I want and how I want it. I’m based out of Burney, so competition isn’t very high as even now the loggers are looking for more gypos, plus this new mill they are replacing the old one with can run 144 truck loads a day, they are going to be crying for logs

 

Thanks for the replies! This is why I am starting early with research and getting a game plan.. Like I said this isn’t til 5-6 years out after I save enough money to buy a truck cash.. definitely looking to have 0 debt when I start. At the end of the day I really want to be my own boss, so maybe I’ll figure out doing a little OTR might be a better option. BTW I live in an area with very low cost of living, and I’m living in my parents RV trailer rent free so I can save all my money. Again thanks for the replies every bit of information helps!
