The freight industry is very easy to get into. A lot of folks fresh off the boats sign up for 'trucker school' and get their CDL and plopped behind the wheel of a 80,000 pound truck with virtually no experience. For the most part, the daily courier (independent contractor) business is just not a lucrative business to be in unless your vehicle is in good condition and paid off. And don't expect the compensation to be self-supporting. It's a fair source of a 2nd income if you're semi-retired and looking to get out of the house and keep you busy. You just won't make much more than what it costs to run your vehicle plus maybe $100-$200 per week. You might do better looking into signing on with a expedited freight company as an independant contractor. But then you are at the mercy of freight available in the area you are in. Again, just about anyone with a van or straight truck can sign on with one of these companies, and there are a lot of time spent at truck stops, or home, waiting for a load. If you are still 'hell-bent' on being a driver, get a good straight truck or tractor-trailer, get your own authority, and get yourself a good freight broker.
