Do your research and watch for hidden money traps. It is not cheap to run your own truck. I don't, but I have friends who do. Times are hard for them right now.

I have been researching alot lately, and i kow what you mean. Tags, insurance(the big killer here), truck note, fuel and maintenence/repairs all get very expensive. But from what i have heard and researched, there is still good money to be made if you're willing to work hard and stay out for a month or more at a time.
