He's stuck in a factory job he hates and he's been working there for 18 years with them reducing benefits every now and then and reducing employee hours.

He went out and got an AZ license but couldn't find any work because of a lack of experience.

Now he wants to go out and buy a 5 ton and make deliveries within ontario. I'm not sure if this forum is strictly for 18 wheelers and quite frankly I don't know enough about this topic but I need help from experts in this field, such as where to get the contracts and is there even a need for this line of work in the 5 ton range.

If you're wondering why I'm online looking for things for him, it's because he's at work and he's not a savvy person. He is old fashioned and has a stubborn belief that being a hardworker and being honest is all you need. He's also not so great at surfing the internet.


So here I am trying to learn from scratch, I would love any recommendations for where to find such contracts and we were thinking of just leasing a truck for a year to see if it is worthwhile. He is not looking to make an enormous amount of money just a little more than now which isn't much and stability.

Thanks in advance for any advice guys ]]> Independent Owner Operators Forum kia4ever http://www.truckstopcanada.ca/forum/showthread.php?4979-Need-advice
