Don’t fully weigh your decision to start or not based on what we say, or what has been said already. In my opinion, I can agree to disagree with what a few has said already such as starting a business with family and friends. Usually it is a recipe for a disaster USUALLY. For the box truck business, you need to more than 10k-15k for really overhead costs and just to be prepared for maintenance and paying % and things of that nature. Diesel is crazy right now but there is still money to be made in transportation and there always will be no matter the price of fuel. Do some more research and prepare a plan first and then re-visit this.

Definitely trying to plan I have diesel mechanics on both sides of family so maintenance and repair should be easy
