Okay, so to start off, I have about 4 years experience, I have my dad's knowledge thrown at me, and I have a buddy who's in a lease purchase and it just seems...blah. He makes good money, but it would be doubled or tripled if it were HIS truck. Now I am looking I to buying a rig and putting it into the LLC that he has made. I am rebuilding credit and in the mid to upper 600's and wonder if anyone would take that and how. I have money down and all that, but would using the business model he has produced with an LP work for me buying a truck from a dealer? Minus the differences in pay (he's mileage, I'd be percentage) would it affect anything?
Basically I'm wondering if I should just continue building credit and stay company driver, or if I should do an LP to build a business model to throw around. I've done all the tracking of numbers and such, so I have that figured out. I just want freedom that company driving can't give me, and as does everyone else, I would like it sooner than later. Hopefully someone can throw me some ideas, or dealers who could work with me.
I also hope this made sense to you guys haha. -

I am also in the do my homework phase of buying my first truck and your advise is helpful thanks...am wondering if the $12,000 i have saved for this endeavour is enough...20 % down payment will take 90 % of my start up..am in the do or die mode with determination to make it...l have been averaging right around 110,000 miles with this company for the past 6 yrs and it seems its about to go south so this is an opportune time to jump in with both feet and get my own truck..any more useful advise would be welcome

This is a very risky business and the rate of failure is very high. I would advise you to save more money then when you have enough for a start up, including reserves for repairs etc, then go for it. It could be very rewarding especially for guys who enjoy being in charge of their own destiny.
Just my 2 ¢ -
