    All depends on your wants, needs and operation you want/are willing to run, where you live and how much money you want.

    I and many others have said it's not a good time to be a noob and freight sucks.
    With that being said most all of us are still here even though we complain a lot.
    Take that for whatever it's worth.

    Depends on the drive in YOU.
    We really can't say one way or another.
    Sure the rates stink right now..but most of us seem to manage staying in business.

    A couple of things I will say:

    Have some money in the bank BEFORE you pull the trigger on a lease.
    It will help out till you get your feet on the ground(learning the system,lanes etc).

    Discipline is key..manage your money,time the way you run.

    There's no one to blame if you don't make it..harsh but true.

    Good Luck with whatever you decide.

    Btw, thanks for ya'lls responces. I've been reading posts on this site for years and this is top 5 thread. I hear it can take up to 6 months on the current wait list, so i'll apply and see how things are should I get accepted down the road. Between this thread and J. LIKE'S vids, I should get a good feel.
     
    freightwipper Thanks this.

    Until they get sued for harassing drivers or enough take it to court and tie up the system for months on end.
