:LOL:

It's rough getting started on Trukz - your truck is gonna be crap, it will take forever to get where you're going, breaks down all the time, etc.

I eventually took out 3 $1000 loans and got my KW. I still have breakdowns, but not as many as before. Also, my truck can run @ 85mph so it doesn't take as long to make the deliveries. I paid my loans off within a couple of contract runs.

The only purchases I've made have been the CB, tires and an air filter. I'm banking all of my money as soon as I get it (I run in the red for each load). I'm saving for my next truck which will be in the $50-60k range.

Make sure you work for a company that does contract loads. If you're not under contract loads you'll barely be able to make any money at all.

Very good advice!

I'm amazed at how many people are playing, that have nothing to do with trucking. Trying to get more RL truckers playing. :shock:

Shoot, with 4 fantasy football teams, and 2 fantasy nascar teams, I needed something having to do with fantasy trucking. :wink:

mike3fan: I'm too new myself. I think you have to have logged so many miles, have a higher driver rating, and $7000 cash to start a company. So it may be some time before we can open one up.

They are the last of the true die-hards. Drive a truck all day then pretend to drive a truck on their breaks. To top it all off, inbetween all that, they come to a truck message board to post about it to help others. They are the FEW that truely LOVE their job.

That, or they have just been out a little too long and are in bad need of some hometime. :P
