Answer
Hi Ivan.

I would contact local truck driving schools in your area and look into getting your Class A.  They will teach you what you need to know and have Uncle Sam give you a loan to go to school.  From there, it's like any other business, write up a business plan.  Learn the market, i.e. the dealers and auctions in your area.  Talk to other haulers in your area, even if you have to go to an auto auction, pick their brain and learn as much as you can.
Your first stop, though, should be a truck driving school.

Good luck!
