I like what GMAN is saying here. I always had a plan B in any business startup I did, and in some cases, an exit strategy, if the business was risky, or had a lot of potential unknowns. It sounds a little negative, but you've got to be realistic here.
On the other hand, when you have no way out but succeed, it puts a fire under you, and puts enough good fear in you, to move you along.
It's been well stated here, the need for adequate finances in trucking, but there are other things that are just as important, ie. motivation and determination, just to name a couple.
Back to being realistic, I'm sure a few people have had their dream balloon busted on this board, but they had to come back to the ground before they got very high. :wink:
To all the guys and gals contemplating starting out on your own, It'd be better to have your dreams delayed instead of destroyed. Just don't give up.
