Whats it take to get into something like that? I've always wanted to get into that, but I don't know if the money is good enough....

Well... I got a beater truck (as you can see) and it was ~$12,500. Then there is the MANDITORY $50k of tools you have to stock in it. Then the nickle and dime stuff... I'll be about $70,000 in it before the truck even hits the road. But on my days I rode with the MAC man i out sold him by over $500 two days on his own truck.

Congrats!!! was that a old truck a salesman had sitting around? Im sure being a franchise they had certain requirements for the "sales truck" to be? What if you didnt have the opportunity for a used truck would you have to buy something and pay to have it outfitted (decals/chests)?

DB discounts count?
