    New trailer too. You’ll need one of them.


    After you have a truck and a trailer the work comes easy. People will be knocking your door down trying to get you to haul their freight.

    OP, there is much to learn about this industry before you even think about going it on your own. And apparently, if the replies above are any indication, you won't get any help here. Tough crowd.

    Use the search feature up top. You'll probably get better answers.

    Safest path in my opinion is to lease a prime truck and use your first few settlement s for lots of chrome because shiny trucks make more money

    I highly recommend getting signed up for Dart's Lease Purchase Program so you can, "Drive like a boss!".

    Get a few years under your belt and then come back and ask the question again.
