Newbie looking for advice

I am thinking about buying a straight truck w sleeper (32,000 gvw) and
getting into the business as an owner/operator. I got my Z endorsement in
Feb, and I'm upgrading my license to a 'D'; I have an experienced driver
with an 'A' license who can drive with me for a while as a trainer. I am
based in Ontario. I was speaking with someone at Kennedy Transportation
Network in Mississauga last year, and I've been digging around asking
questions, to verify the numbers they gave me, re: earnings/expenses;
Various sources seem to be pretty close with their $$ figures, and as far as
I can tell, it should be viable from a business standpoint.

The $$ figures I'm getting from the recruiters look good (almost too good).
I'm wondering what the reallity is, and in general, the pros and cons of the
business. I've talked to people who love it, and some who hate it.

Does anyone have any experience with Kennedy Transportation Network Ltd, or
carriers like TST? Do you have any carriers (Ontario) that you would
recommend working for?

Pros and cons of the business? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
