{"replyTo":"","text":"Nah. Just keep driving your company truck running it like a government mule \nand idle at truck stops for no reason even if it is 65° outside, and drive in the hammer lane at 65 mph ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"With the right freight, yes. Don’t try to buy a new truck and haul cheap van freight. Maximize your revenue and keep costs as low as possible and you should be ok. Fair warning though, parts are hard to get and they’re expensive. When mine goes in the shop, it can be down for a month.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"It does pay more....... But along with it comes more responsibilities like authority,  insurance,  truck and trailer payments and let's not forget the tax man just to name a few..  I'm not saying it's not profitable just do your research in all aspects of it from a good tax guy experienced with trucking to the mechanic changing your oil. Equipment I personally went used. there's a risk involved of course but it worked for me.","replyToPid":0}
