So you have no industry experience at all? Do I think it's a wise move? No. What advise can I give? Don't. If you want to waste your money, you can always send it to me, or just burn it in a bonfire.

Unless you have something to haul & someone in mind to drive your truck that you know will take care of it, I’d advise against it, a bad driver can cost you, curbing tires/blowing them out/bending rims.
For a small outfit or o/o to get trucks and hire drivers is a big hassle, but you’d have something you’d not be able to drive if the driver quit, abandoned truck somewhere, you would have to hire someone to bring your truck back,
If you’re set about doing this, get your license, just IncaseLast edited: Jun 19, 2018

A driver can do more than bend rims. They can hit cars and hurt people leaving you potentially liable.

I have an 01 Freightliner. I can bring it to west Texas for you for $100k. Let me know.

UNLESS you have a crap load of money to back up the business, you will fail and cause more problems for all of us. THIS isn't a part time or a passive income thing.389driver and Just passing by Thank this. -
Who gave you that advice? Are they doing the same thing? I would bet not.

Should be no problem. Just buy truck and watch the money roll in. You might want to buy one of those money counting machines it will save time on counting the money!
