Trucking: Another Hotshot question, auto salvage auctions, bennett driveaway

Question
I am only 19 years old, but i want to buy a 1 ton truck and possibly a trailer then work for a company as like an owner/operator. However, every company i have called has a minimum age on there insurance, I tried to get my own, its about $20,000 a year. I really don't want to start out on my own because i have virtually no experience in the field other than driving and common sense load securing. the specifics i would really like to be taught the right way. Is there any company that will hire me? Is there any other way for me to get this rolling? Or am I just going to have to wait until i'm 23? I find it very stupid I can drive a T/T at 21 but cant drive a 1-ton for virtually anybody until i'm 23-25. Thanks so much for your time, Kenson.

Answer
Also auto salvage auctions.



Hi Kenson,

They move all kind of vehicles and freight, give them a call and tell them what you have. You could get in touch with large car dealers, like Carmax or car auctions and move cars. Cars pay the best right now. Also check with any companies in the area that might build campers or cargo trailers. I don't know much else to tell you.


God Bless and Good Luck, Israel
