Do you have any recommendations on who to contact?
At what point do I start lining up contacts and jobs, and at what point do I buy the truck/trailer?
What would be a realistic income figure?

I don't know if you can get home daily, but you should manage to be home more often than if you lived in many other areas of the country. We are still in a volatile economy. You may find that you will need to make adjustments in order to keep your truck moving should the economy disintegrate again. It is important to be flexible. I think that you live in one of the better areas to do what you want.
Thanks. That's about what I was hoping to hear. Like I said above, this is my 'Wishbook' scenario. I know reality intrudes on goals, and there will be give and take. But I'm trying to establish a basic framework of what this will realistically look like once I'm up and running and then I can decide if it's something I want to proceed with.
