Like John said make sure you are familiar with the regs. Also if you haul machinery you will need by FMCSA rules a $1,000,000 in liability insurance plus cargo insurance of at least $100,000 Or forget being able to load for much of anybody. If you doubt this just look at 3 3020"s at $15,000x 3 is $45,000 these are old tractors if you load newer stuff the price goes up.

Now you can go out load tractors and deliver them till there is an issue like the guy runs a light knocks the tractor off and then WHO pays not your insurance company if you are hauling for hire on your car insurance you will be and they will probably drop you too. Right now things are so slow I would wait till things pick up some. Just my opinion on that.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
