New to this. I want to be an owner/operator planning on buying a cargo van to start with

Don't buy your truck from Peachtree truck in Georgia with no service records or warranty.

 

In chicago most noncdl drivers top out at 15 to 16 an hour. We have non.cdl drivers where I work, they make $12 an hour. When I was looking for work a company offered me $10, I declined. I would think orlando would be similar. If you want to drive, get a cdl

 

You wont be your own boss, almost all van owners contract with a transport or hotshot company, still have rules to follow, and a dispatcher to listen to

 

Sounds like courier work or light delivery like med equipment

talk to a temp hire see if they will hook you up with a part time or med supply store

 

Nope, if your not signed on with a company, you will have a vary hard time finding loads to keep you busy. Most people shipping something want a company, not a random guy with a van

 

Im not trying to discourage you, I just recommend you learn the business working for someone else for a while, why risk going bankrupt to learn.
Also even without a cdl you still have rules and regulations to operate a vehicle for comnercial use. A cargo van has less regulations then a semi, but you still have federal rules to follow
