you may find that a 3/4 ton is a little light depending on how heavy the tractors are that you want to haul. There hase been much discussion here about when a cdl is necessary and log books and fuel taxes ect. I think a goose neck trailer which allows you to put 15 tp 20 % of trailer gross weight on trailer hitch is better way to go than pintle style which only allows 10 to 14% of trl wt on hitch. If you haul for the general public you are a public utility and the govt sticks there nose into whats going on more than if you own the cargo. ie puc # for instate moves and icc# needed for interstate moves. cargo ins in case tractor falls off or gets stolen ect. larger liability ins amounts required on truck and mileage and gallons of fuel records to be kept and reported. I was required to keep records of tool mileage seperate from other mileage and mileage state by state and the state could send license plate auditors to my home to check my math and charge me extra plate money if they did not like my numbers. This was for aportonated plates. You should not be heavy enough for that to apply to you but I would check first. sad but true working at mcdonalds will put more real cash in your pocket that the PROFIT from running a truck probally will.
