 The only downside about Malone is; they don't pay for any permits/or insurance coverage. What about fuel? What type of insurance coverage are you referring?

Your truck payment isn't too much. Your trailer payment will run $165/week or less, depending on whether you rent one of their trailers or buy your own. I would rent until you see if you are going to like pulling a flat. I would think $1,200-1,500 would be more realistic starting out. In fact, the $1,500 may even be a little high to start.
