Started out with Swift as apprentice driver, after 9 mos bought own tractor, leased on to various companies (incl SP trucking subsidiary) for 5 yrs. Finally got my own authority and bought a step deck, a 53 van and a 53 reefer all used. Got to know shippers and good brokers now I'm out only about 200 days per yr and still clear $60k. Have seen nearly every rail line in the country-wonderful way to pursue hobby, do everything myself, no boss, not much hassle, learned all the places to stay away from. Can't imagine doing anything else. But to do it this way you've got to have a good cash stake to start out with.
