Starting a box truck business is one of the fastest ways to build a six-figure income without a college degree. Here's the real breakdown:

💰 Earning Potential

A single 26ft box truck can gross $12,000–$30,000/month depending on your hustle. After expenses ($3,800–$5,400/month), you're looking at $8,000–$26,000 in profit.

📋 What You Need to Get Started

1. LLC formation ($50–$200)

2. USDOT number (free) + MC authority ($300)

3. BOC-3 filing ($30–$50) + UCR ($69/year)

4. A used 26ft box truck ($15,000–$35,000)

5. Commercial insurance ($800–$1,675/month)
