    There was a thread, maybe it is on another forum? anyways, there was a guy who was in his early 20's and he bought his own rig and was working hauling freight with some brokers.. anyways, If anyone knows the thread of which I speak, could you please link it, I am still searching, but I cannot find it.


    Thanks

    That's what I'm doing. 25, own truck, own trailer, own authority. Debt up to my eyeballs, but managing it ok. What information are you looking for?

    Well, like I said, there was a thread I was reading, and this guy, maybe it was you? anyways, he bought his own truck, it was a volvo (he was catching flack for that too..) said it had some miles on it, but the engine and tranny were all rebuilt and like new... then he bought a trailer, and he was going through some brokers and pulling in a a decent amount of cash each month..

    Now, he may have been bragging, or maybe he was being straight up, regardless, it is an aspect of trucking I am very curious about. I am still planning on being a company driver for a few years, but maybe later on, I might buy my own rig. I want to make sure this is something I can do first..

    If you dont mind, could you give me a breakdown of what driving under your own authority entails, and how you go about getting loads and all that?? If you would like, you can pm me.
