1. get some experience in what you plan on doing/hauling
2. get good contacts while you are doing the above
3. When you have both and can ensure you will have decent work for the truck then think about buying one.
I could buy a truck tomorrow, no trailer and would have more work than I could handle coming my way. I have contacts in agriculture (guaranteed work spring and fall), construction (spring and summer), snow removal (guess when that is lol). Lot's of people willing too help me get started which is a major bonus.
Would I buy a truck right now?, no.
Why?, don't want the headache and I want to keep doing what I've been doing, expand my contact network and keep gaining experience doing many different things.
Hell, past 6 months I've done liquid bulk, flatbed, framed end dump trailers, straight hoppers, b-train hoppers, those rolling tarp trailer things doing deliveries for a steel sheeting company, moffett forklift and dump truck.
OK, Not OK because , You are the dumbest member on TTR for even thinking it
