A friend has offered to help me buy a truck so I have been doing reasearch into the possibility of starting my own company. I know that I would need to get my own authority. Not sure if I can find insurance being a new driver. Also not sure what else would be required/ permits,etc. Suggested trailer? flat, DD, van?? I want to get all my ducks in a row before spending the money on schooling only to be left holding a CDL-A thats basically worthless since everyone seems to want 2+ OTR. I am 45, 20 yrs virtually spotless DMV, I have 1 felony (2002)(no drugs or violence) that makes it hard to find work in any field that would allow me the kind of income I need to support my family. Not looking forward to being away from my family but caring for them is my FIRST priority. Any help and proper direction would be appreciated. Thank You
