Looking into o/o Mercer info, Army Veteran w 3 years interested.

I would like to dialogue with you personally you can email me Babiesdaddy013@gmail.com , I am curious as to why Mercer is your choice.

 

Mercer does not lease trucks. They are a real trucking company for real owner operator's, not some big box screw you over lease purchase scam.
As far as capital, obviously the more the better, but at a bare minimum you could get by with a truck, and a couple grand for flatbed equipment. That's rolling the dice you don't have a major repair in your first couple months while you build up savings. Once you get the truck, and pay the 2290 tax, you will need another 2500 or so for flatbed equipment. And then obviously enough for living expenses for a week till you get rolling. This is not the best situation, but could be done.

 

What about doing a real lease with penski or ryder nd signing on with Mercer

 

Perfectly a ok. Expect more paperwork at initial sign on. But other than that, it's identical as owning.
