Welcome George, You are ambitious aren't you? I know nothing about Greece but I would HIGHLY recommend that you get some experience driving someone else's truck before you jump into the deep end and buy your own. Car hauling is a speciality market also and calls for even more training. Let some one else pay you to learn and pay for your mistakes.
