Trucking: START UP, owner operator, brakes


Question
I JUST PURCHASED A TRACTOR FOR CASH AND WANT TO KNOW THE BEST WAY TO START OFF, WILL I NEED A TRAILER OR CAN OR SHOULD I PULL SOMEONE ELSES TRAILER.

Answer
I assume you are an Owner Operator.  I suggest starting by pulling the company trailers because you will find more opportunities.  If you find a company that will pay you more to pull your own trailer you will need to do the analysis to see if the added expense to buy the trailer, put a tag on it and keep the tires and brakes up is worth the additional money.
