Planning on driving a truck, thinking about car hauling.

{"text":"So I'm new here, and my current plan involves graduating high school, getting through national guard basic training, and hitting the road in a truck. The current extension of that plan is to buy an older 6x4 cab over and a hopper and haul grain for a while, and getting into flatbed work after that. Problem is I have a habit of browsing TruckPaper when I shouldn't be, and something caught my eye.An oldish single axle White/GMC integrated sleeper with a four car hauler. Truck is clean and solid looking all around, very little to no rust, interior is also really clean, aero model, and the trailer is really clean with very little to no rust. Which, of course, got me thinking. Could I, as a rookie 19 year old, feasibly make a profit as a car hauler running from auctions or dealerships, confined to the state of Illinois? The plan after I turn 21 would be to either keep hauling cars with it, buy a new truck, or convert it to a 6x4 and keep using it. Or should I abandon hope and go with the original plan?I should note, I have had one job over the previous summer where I had to tie down moving objects, mainly lawn mowers. And while I understand cars are a different beast, I would guess the same concepts still apply. I also have limited knowledge driving semi trucks, as I have driven my uncles' and my grandfathers' trucks during harvest season.","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
