    What a Rockin' start!!! Do not forget to set aside some $$ for truck maintenance/repair, that is an employee in a sense. I used to take 20% off the gross into a truck fund. That amount allowed for some "build up" so when I needed an engine or clutch or tires I had the cash and could keep up with accounts. No truck,no money. loose the tool box and think about protecting the rear glass with a headache rack ( you can scrounge some expanded metal at the yard and just screw a section directly into the sheet metal of the cab). Take good care of yourself with proper lifting techniques/hydration,and nutrition..fast food will make you sick. I have meet some very successful lady scrappers.
