Trucking: starting container bussines, garbage container, schneider national


Question
Hi Bob.
I have a question about starting business around Chicago area.It would be garbage(container hauling business),My question is mostly about if I should lease or maybe even rent a truck for the beginning or buying.What do you think about PACLease company.I am afraid that it will not going to work (whole idea).I would like to start small and stay small company.I have my CDL A CLASS  driver license for two years ,and I worked for Schneider National so I am not without any experience.I hope i can use your help.Thank You.

Answer
Hi Sebastian.

PACLease looks to be a good, stable company.  Renting a truck would be more expensive then leasing in the long run.  I would look into leasing a truck, if not buying a good, used truck.  Chicago always has a lot of freight, garbage included.  I think you'll do well, just write up a business plan and go for it!

Good luck!
