New O/O

I've been driving company for five years, dry van and reefer. I'm buying my own truck within three months.

I'll be paying in full, no lease or finance and I was a successful LLC business owner in another field before getting into trucking.

I'll have reserve funds for repairs and the such.

But I want to get into flatbed, any recommendations on how to get trained without starting with a training company?

Also, should I look into power only to start, before I get my own trailer? I was in sales for 20+ years, so I'll be good approaching shippers about getting freight, but I know with a new authority it'll take a bit.

Thanks for any recommendations and advice.

 

I'm aware of the current market, just looking for advice on the subjects I printed. Thanks.

 

Not one of my questions, but thanks.

 

Are you bored, today? I've quoted insurance, I'm aware of fuel economy, maintenance costs, and know what I'm prepared to spend for a truck, cash.

I just have a few questions that I'm looking for advice on and if you don't wish to help, fine, just quit replying and wasting both of our times. Thank you.
