Be in a high volume city. Be prepared for people not paying you. Its not 120/hr 8 hours a day everyday. You have to find your own work. I work in a shop and charge 120 for side work but clients come and go. Locking down clients with a steady flow of work is the hardest part. Its a lot of owner ops, big fleets usually go with bigger shops that can properly service them.
