I am 34 yrs old single with no family. I want to buy a truck and go into buisness for my self ( yes I know I'm crazy ) but I have grew up around trucks all my life and the thought of life on the road exites me. My dad did it for a living between that and farming and I have always had a love for trucks, It's in my blood. I have driven tractor trailers starting at the ripe old age of 13, ( grain to the mill from the farm ) and had my A lisence since 18. Grandfathered in before CDL went into effect in 92'. I'm not looking to drive for a big company because I don't want to be just a driver, I do have the financial backing to buy my own truck and trailer now but before I do I would like to work for someone who would show me the buisness side of driving as well as drive for them. I have a perfect MVR, never had a ticket, not even speeding. CDL class a with tanker endorsement but no Haz Mat. no felonies. no drugs. Home time is not important to me. I want to work hard and learn the buisness. I treat all equipment that I run as if I owned it myself. I have a love for all machianery it is art to me. I am looking to work and learn for about a year or so before I dive into the game for myself. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I am Located in Maryland. any advise ( other than don't do it ) would be apprciated as well.
Sorry for the bad spelling,
