Fortunately, Nick has a certain amount in his hands. This is enough to buy your own truck - not the best, but you have to start somewhere. You will also have to organize your own company, and if there is money left - to hire several drivers and provide them with inexpensive cars so that they can fulfill orders, bringing a certain profit.
