[QUOTE="Pitch19, post: 1228717, member: 51027"] The truck that comes with it is old and getting up there in miles. 2000 International p1000 300k miles. I thought about buying a new truck with a warranty but if something happens I have to take it back to the dealership and they take forever. My diesel mechanic will drop a new crate engine and transmission in for 12k. Those engines come with a 3 year warranty so I don't have to take it to a dealership for problems. The only issue holding me up deals with the driver. I couldn't afford to take a month off. I'd probably look to hire a current FedEx driver that's been doing it for a while and pay him more than what his currently earning from his contractor. I'd also include the probability that if the route does well under him more would be purchased and I'd pay him extra to manage them. That's the only way I see in keeping a driver motivated and not willing to walk away. [/QUOTE]
