    Made lots of since bro I was confused years ago just like you but to be honest it’s best to just go ahead and grab that USDOT and MC together that way you don’t need to go back for anything else like you said. I’m sure you just helped a lot of people out with how simple this is!

    Thanks man def appreciate your content, would love to see a video with recommendations on how to grow your trucking business in the current market and whether or not you think it’s a wise move to purchase a second or third truck when freight rates are relatively lower than the previous years. Would also like to hear how long it took for you to generate and see a profit after you were granted authority and got your truck as well as how long it took you to start the business itself. More specifically if you had to cover any of the fixed or variable expenses out of pocket for a while before you were able to turn a profit when you first started out. Thanks
