@Konebhar6 according to anna not good. Too many struggles with drivers.

I have heard rates are low. You get good deals now when prices are low. But you may have to endure losses or low return on equity until rates pick up. 

I have heard it's not very easy to find good drivers.

What if Owner is the Driver and want to do it as side gig with Distribution of 7 account ??

That would be great. It's a good choice. Everything depends on financials and cash flow. The details provided on the site are mind-blowing for the cash flow they are generating, which returns your investment in 2 years. Why don't you ask them to provide more details and detailed information? 

You have to consider other factors like ->

How the recession is going to impact business (Food business should be OK esp Bread)

How does the margins look like if the fuel prices increase/decrease. What are the projections for fuel in the next few years.

What is the projection for food prices?

Nice cash flow but margin on sales seem to be less. What is the shelf life of these products? As a distributor of this route do you incur any loss if they expire? How easy/dangerous is the route in terms of thefts/road conditions in summer & winter,road curves, size of the container you need, etc etc. I already checked, not much information is there
