    There is a wealth of information on this site. Unfortunately you do not yet know which questions to ask. To get to that point, I think it would be prudent and more informative to put your reading glasses on and spend several weeks (full time) reading the various threads related to truck specs and the business of trucking. Taking the necessary time to digest, absorb and understand what the nuances of the various posts mean. .................. Then, you will able to ask questions that have value. Good luck

    You may want to tell us what you doing so far REGARDING the business you want to start from “scratch” and ask if what you doing so far is the right way to do things , instead you are asking like you have no idea what you getting into.
    Is like asking how to paint houses and you don’t know if paint exists . LOL

    I wish I could help, but honestly, I’m the worst Businessman. If I were a good Businessman, I’d probably be doing something else. Good Luck, it’s all common sense.

    It would be more awesome if these “investors “ didn’t make the whole industry bleed:(:eek:. But hey, that’s a beauty of capitalism, I guess...

    Yeah. If you read my edited reply you will agree that capitalism is most effective when it’s regulated the least. HOS and all federal regulations are the tools that our politicians consider most effective and minimal. Trucking is like human arteries and veins for the economy, I think.
