If you were born in this country this IS your country. My heritage is English and Irish. I spent 10 years in the United States Marine Corps and now I wear lead for the rest of my life. This IS MY COUNTRY!mje Thanks this.

First, thank you for your service!! However, my comment WASN'T DIRECTED TO YOU!! You don't need to be born here to make this YOUR country. My comment was intended as a rib toward the person I quoted. He could have said what many others said to the OP, which is, it's not a good idea!! Instead he chose to stereotype the OP, and play the "go back to your own country card".Reroll Thanks this.

California has emission laws that other states do not have so you do need to have a newer tuck if operating in California to meet those emission standards.
If you want to haul cars you would want what they call a flat top or mid roof instead of a condo to load a car above the cab. An earlier post has several pictures of the style of trucks used.
No real average, it all depends on what truck you get, what year it is, what engine/transition it has, and how many miles are on it. You can check prices at http://www.truckpaper.com/.
Without any experience, the liability and cargo insurance will likely cost more than you have for just one year coverage, especially if you are going to be hauling 9 or 10 cars at a time.
Get some experience driving for someone else and learning the industry while doing so. In 2 or 3 years the cost of insurance will drop dramatically and your chances of success will increase dramatically as well. -
Were you in Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan?
God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.!
