Answer
Hi Dominic.

Before you buy that truck, make sure you can run it.  There is a glut of dumps in Florida right now and construction has slowed way up.  I know that Peterbilt of Tampa is going to stop selling dumps because it's so slow.  I would call around to some potential companies that you could lease out to and see if it's worth your while.  Unless you've done a business plan and know where your customers are, I wouldn't go out on your own in this economic climate...yet.

Good luck!
