    I've got the truck, the experience, I just don't have the autority, the base plate, and the permits. And to top it all off, I don't have any greenbacks to go for it by myself. I'm too old for schooling to be retrained to do something I don't want to do. Trucking is the only outlet I have.

    The best is your own authority. If I like one company there will be 20 more who disagree. If I dislike 1 there will be 30 more that disagree. Any company you lease to can or can not be good, it all up how you and the company click together.

    I think you will need more then $4000 grand to get rolling. Think of fuel, insurance, waiting to get paid 30 - 60 days. Breakdowns etc..... Just my 2 cents.
