    Yes, take your time. Look them over and pick one that's good for the "long haul" and comfort on the road.
    Stay away for any lease deal.

    I made 63 1st year, you don't have to have all endorsements, but it helps.

    For a cpm reference, with no endorsements and zero experience I got on with a small (10 trucks) company doing OTR reefer. For my first year I started at .34 cpm and ended the year at .39 cpm. From what I saw there is better out there and also certainly worse.
