Hello, Im in research mode. Ive formed my LLC and I have great credit and cash in bank. Im buying a straight truck. I have local options, Relay and Mothership. Load boards and dispatchers are the third option. I have a class A with a tanker endorsement. I could get a hazmat. After looking at the Penske used trucks.. the heavier duty cdl box trucks are cheaper and the mpg looks comparable to the under 26000 box trucks. I think ? the larger truck truck would afford more opportunities if I want to go otr. This is driving me crazy trying to figure out the way to go-- I dont see many downsides to the bigger truck but what the hell do I know? Also Ive read most box truck regional/local loads are 5k pnds and ubder .. I dont want to buy a bigger truck and pay for more insurance and quicker tire wear if Im staying 500 mile radius or under. Any feedback would be great..Thanks
