did it for 25 yrs. and had as many as 21 employees at one time, started with nothing, made a little money, but the only reason it worked was because i didnt wont to stop at night and couldnt waite to get back there the next morning. i loved it. i was working as a fleet supervisor for UPS, so i saved up a little money and i took what i learned at UPS (and belive me they know how to run a bus.) i went to rich. va. found the busiest st. corner i could afford and never looked back. it didnt hurt anything for 80,000 cars passing your door every day eather. the first prioritie you need is you have to have the "wont to" (you and your wife both if your married)second enough money to buy equipment you need, the start up coast, something to live on untill you get going,but most of all, pay your bills, pay uncle sam, and if its any left over put it back in the bus. live with-in your means, untill you get on your feet, and you might have to kiss a little butt to . id also go where the traffic is.
