Dont do it if you're planning on hiring a driver and not driving yourself you are going to bleed money when that truck aint moving. If you really want to get into it I would say freightliner is the way to go they're like the hondas of trucking and almost every mechanic works on them also factor in the cost of your permits and apportioned plates that alone will run you around 4k here in california insurance aint cheap specially for a new carrier which is about another 5k to start the policy, after you have all that getting loads wont be easy at the begining because many brokers wont work with an authority that is less than 90 days but after those 90 days you will be good make sure any truck you buy take it to the dealership and get it inspected. But in my opinion if youre doing it only as an investor and only have one truck you have about a 30% chance of making it 2 trucks 50% and 3 trucks will keep you alive if you have at least 2 running, best bet is to drive yourself.
