actually some companies will do a free inspection. call the local ts and ask if they do them.

insurance costs,

call an insurance company. rates vary on carrier

all the straps and tie downs.

go to a truck stop and price the items.

wood floors

depends on thickness of your floor, insulation and other variables another road trip to lowes, menards or home depot

with e trak.and any other start up costs.also i know all the companys have different fees.what is the best way to keep those fes down from the company.thanks for any input

suggest you go back in time here and read about start up costs and lean what people also carry in the truck for personal convenience. there is a thread called ...heading out...look into that..

I bet it wouldn't take too much looking to find a van for sale all equipped and ready to go at a very reasonable price .

Yeah, plenty of vans for sale from people who jumped into this business without doing research or having a hefty saving account

12 foot (yellow) ratchet strap - $10
20 foot (blue) - $13

E-track - 5 foot section horizontal painted $15
10- foot section - $20

Wood sockets (a must have) $5 each

I would guess you could put together everything in the van for under $400, with straps and etrack.

I spent $160 plus tax at Northern Tool for my etrack consisting of 12 two foot pieces and 2 five foot pieces. I already had straps. I spent another $45 on fire extenguisher and triangles and a little over $20 for a 5/8" GOS plywood sheet.
