    Well then it's gonna be a little difficult at first.
    Do you have a cdl or permit?

    No im totally green on starting this up, im trying to find out because of my horrible background if theres a way for me to start running a 26ft box truck without using a broker, if theres a way ti get loads straight from a load board without having to pass abackground check

    well it seems you don't understand how it works, the brokers don't do background checks, the carrier does.

    I would look at leasing on to a carrier where they would accept your background, let them find you the work.
