    At that stage in the game, you're done talking with recruiters.

    Do you need newish or old. A 13000 truck is possible but a Gamble. How much do you have for a down payment?

    You're not going to protect anything with an LLC or Scorp. Any business loan will require a personal guarantee. If you're the driver, you'll be personally named on a lawsuit from a crash.

    I'm seems that you are not considering fuel efficiency.

    When you pull decent paying freight, fuel efficiency becomes icing on the cake. If you depend on getting good fuel mileage to make good money, you are pulling for pennies instead of dollars. cpm mega carrier crap.

    now before anyone attacks me for this, I strive for good fuel mileage cause I love my icing, but my freight has enough cake to make good money without the icing.

    You know what job you want to do. Do you know what said job pays or what the market rate is for the job?
