Hello,

I want to start my own freight business but I don't know where to start, so If anyone has any suggestions they are very welcome.

I am not a trucker myself and I don't necessarily want to drive the truck. But should I learn how to anyway... How?

What type of truck should I buy if I want to ship large cargo across the country?

Is a broker a good way to find shipments or is it better to assing the tuck to a company. How do I do that?

How much is a truck? Can I lease a truck? Or do I have to buy one?

Thank you very much...

I think that you will find information on the following site to be helpful to you. I hope that you do.

I'm not sure about the price of a truck. Depends on how big and how old it is, condition, etc.

I'm sure that you could lease a truck.

I think that it would be helpful for you to know how to drive a semi-truck in case a driver gets ill and is not able to complete delivering the shipment.
