Pickup truck and a large dump trailer. Make good money and the overhead is minimal. If you live near a city, and don't mind working some, this might be better than one would think. Always get 1/2 your money after loading. Cash only, never buy your gas on paper. Never buy your gas on paper??? Fuel is a huge line every year in my world.

Link with landscape crews. Pick up a couple yards of bark drop of and collect. Maybe real estate offices. They know who is moving, and can pass business cards to clients.

DOT medical card- - - -gotta have one to drive anything commercial over 25K pound gross weight.
17k in Ohio. Not sure about other states but PA is 26k You got all kind of stuff confused. CDL regs are anything over 26k. A medical card is needed for commercial work. I hate to argue but to be clear on what I'm saying, you need a CDL to drive anything over 26k. If you are driving a commercial vehicle less than 26k you don't need a CDL but you need a med card. IN SOME STATES you need a medical card for anything over 10k however it is up to the state to adopt this. States can vary on med card requirements. Last time I checked Ohio set theirs at 17k.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

Considering the state of our current construction industry, you will keep a truck busy every day the weather allows. You can sub out to a number of grading contractors. It would actually be easier to go to work for one of those guys on a part time basis. You wouldn’t have any truck maintenance to worry about.

17k in Ohio. Not sure about other states but PA is 26k You got all kind of stuff confused. CDL regs are anything over 26k. A medical card is needed for commercial work. Buddy got pinched driving a non CDL poop truck. Still needed a med card. OP if you don't know exactly what work you are going to do, If you can't buy a solid truck, if you can't work on it, If you have to come here for advice on trucking, you will likely get an expensive lesson. I've seen a lot of guys who bought trucks (newer and old) who knew the business and could work on them, lose their ass. Was given some solid advice when I was thinking about buying a semi. "You need $10k in cash, free to help you over whatever pops up" I'll add my advice from watching others. "Always, always, always pay the IRS first. Never, ever, hold back a quarterly if money is short!) If it don't work, if you lose your shirt, you can give a truck back. You can file bankruptcy, but the one debt that will follow you to the grave, with interest rates that make credit cards look like a freebie, is the IRS! This advice is golden!

You ain't arguing, you are right. Kingston, that's what I figured. You are a "Business". I get the impression the OP wants something to occupy some time, while making(instead of burning) money. What I suggest isn't right. But if it's a side job, brings in a few hundy a week clear, keep it in the underware drawer and use it for fun. Always as cash. Consider it an entitlement refund for the money they have taken from him for decades and given to Welfare Rats.

I believe a medical card is needed in all states when driving a combination of vehicles weighing more than 26,001 pounds, a single vehicle weighing more than 26,001 pounds, or when pulling a trailer weighing more than 10,001 pounds with just a few exceptions, even Intrastate. Under those weights there are more exceptions but in most circumstances, it is still required. But also, not all medical conditions will keep you from getting a restricted or limited medical card or even in some cases a full medical card.

Only way in Missouri not to have a medical card is to be grandfathered into CDL from an old chauffeurs license and never leave the state

Guy around here makes a bunch of money delivering for a landscape supply yard. He has a Ford F350...No medical card requirements. Small residential deliveries. Not many headaches... but good extra money what excepted Intrastate commerce does landscaping fall under. the onlyw ay he is exempt from a medical card is if his GVWR of his pickup is less than 17000 pounds

I don't want to discourage you but............
DON"T DO IT.
Especially a 1979 anything. It'll be a bigger money pit than you'll ever be able to climb out of. I'd sell every one of my trucks if I could. The cops will have a hay day with you and put you out of service faster than you can say "Junk".

Phil You are wrong. Many states have exempted intra state status.

Many states have exceptions for agriculture with varying conditions. There are also Fed DOT exceptions for personal use.

The ag exemptions are typically CDL exemptions, not just medical card.

i stopped a tanker driver a few weeks ago hauling water with no "N" endorsement. he couldn't figure out why he wasnt allowed to continue driving the tank vehicle as long as it was empty. He was one of those guys that just kept digging a deeper hole every time he spoke. lLke his reason for having the 10 inch diameter rock on the floorboard in front of his throttle pedal
