    With how cheap you can get them for right now why not just buy one? Heck with renting.

    Why would you want to go out and buy one if your not sure you want to stick with it? Maybe 6-8 months you want to switch to reefer or flat, what are you going to do with the trailer?

    Trade it in on whatever your switching to. New to the business maybe be a company driver for awhile and figure out what niche of trucking fits you.

    You have read all about how brutal the trucking industry has been this past year correct? Lots of companies going out of business/bankrupt... Lack of freight. Low rates. To many trucks out here.

    Yes, I’ve read how brutal the industry has been, with that said if you don’t have 10,000 a month in expenses I think you could survive. It’s all about risk though. Anything could happen.

    I rent from TNT for 695 a month. Easy to deal with.

    Is 695 a month all in? Or do they charge miles and stuff too? I thought I looked at them nd they didn’t work with new business, but I looked at so many places maybe I’m confusing them.

    They required a $1500 deposit and you are responsible for maintenance. I did it with brand new venture and 1 yeah experience .
