    Feel free to send a message. I'll eventually just give you my email and my phone number.

    That's all required for anyone running their own truck.

    As Rollin Coal said in another thread, he's just too lazy to do his own IFTA. But you are still required to do it.


    I am working toward my own authority for one reason. Independence. I have had too many times in the last 5 years someone else telling me whether or not I can / cannot work. I don't want to have anything to do with any of that any more.

    There will always be freight or food that has to be moved. Having my own reefer will allow me to have a part of that.


    ETA:

    Start here with compliance issues.

    I was thinking the same thing cause people always eat, reefer freight should never slow down too bad. I want to get to where you are getting. Own authority and own truck and trailer. The more and more I read on here I'm see that prime will sell you the truck you just bought them, that's the hustler I want to be lol how you gone sell me something I just paid 150k for lol but they do have a completion bonous that sounds nice and a good way to put me toward a down payment on a truck I want, a Peterbilt is what I want and what ill get (379 or 389 to be exact). I like to set high and probably impossible goals, I give myself 4-6 years from the time I start driving to own my own truck and start toward a reefer. My plan is to pull for landstar or maybe somebody such as yourself if you plan on taking your business that far to hire others.

    I do not plan on hiring anyone.

    I don't want someone telling me my future, nor do I care to be concerned to that level of someone elses future.

    I will show you how to make the cake. It's up to you to do it.
