    Ouch, didn't check his last online time. Well a box truck is what I can afford for a start and work towards expanding up to a semi and acquire more. Any advice u give would be helpful

    I'm not an expert but I do see people sometimes assuming a straight truck is cheaper because it's smaller. They can be expensive to maintain so make sure you know the costs.

    Once again, not an expert but if I were going to make a go at OTR with a straight truck I'd probably be looking at expediting. There's a sub forum here for that and you might be able to get some good ideas there.

    Perhaps now you can answer your own questions, How did it work out.
