What should I do next?

This should be interesting

 

Then avoid leasing or buying a truck

 

Take that $10k to Vegas, blow it on strippers and slot machines.

 

And a bit of blow

 

Friends son started with one of the car haulers back in Dec., after 6 mos. hauling dry vans. He seems to like it.

 

With one year of experience, why not get hired on with a company that pays a higher base? There are all kinds out there, and that would enable you to save even more

 

@Gucci25 I agree with Gunner . . . either #2 or #4 personally, but car-hauling usually want WAY more experience than one year, in my neck of the woods, anyway. Tankers pay well; it's what I do. I haul asphalt, but look at some of the other guys, like @GasHauler and such; probably bank more than me (if you can get into that with a year~!)

I would stay away from L/P and O/O if you want to bank some bucks in the next few years. So much can happen when you run your own show; you may be in the red for five before you really turn much of a profit. Like said above; almost better to go to Vegas with $10K. It sounds like a nice bank, but not enough to wing it alone, IMHO.

 

Why would you have to stop pulling refer? There are tons of companies that haul refer, honestly there are tons of options out there. I know you said you'd like to haul cars. There is pmgt that's hiring inexperienced drivers for hauling cars, orientation is 2 weeks long, and you'll get a freightliner argosy once released
