    So I’m just curious to know , Theirs so many people getting their own authority s and starting their own company with the lack of knowledge, Does anyone know if theirs a age ? Or certain amount of experience u need to start a company
    What are the insurance requirements? Seems like everybody keeps on jumping in , that’s what’s making the rates go more down

    Why would the government set an age?

    Minimum age to start a company would be 18 (adult).
    No minimum experience.

    Insurance requirements depend on age, experience, what type of trucking, where, insurance company, etc.

    You don't really gain knowledge until you start, you can't start a business already full of knowledge. Someone who starts early with limited knowledge will be further ahead than someone that spends years trying to learn it from research

    It's not so much about age, more so about how deep your pockets are.
    like "Can a woman help make you a Millionaire?" The answer is; "Yes she can if you are already a Billionaire."
    A truck is like a woman, it knows when you have money in the bank.

    Reminded of the old joke about the trucker who won big in the lottery.
    When asked what he would do with the money he replied,
    I think I will just keep trucking until it's all gone.

    Hi

    Just seen you have got your own authority and are making a go of it. I am of a similar age 28 and have a decent amount saved up. Just wondering how have your experiences been so far? Would be intresting to get some feedback as I too would want to start but just keep getting put off by all the bad coments/advise to stay away?
