Job offer

I am new to trucking but I have a family member who owns his own company and he was only going to pay me 20 percent and a friend of mine offered me the same deal to me it seems like a lot to give up when he has to make truck payments insurance and so much more to keep a truck on the road I hope it's as good as he says it is

I need help

I have just got my cdl but I have had my permit for rt around a year I have a small company willing to give my a chance to go solo rt now I can drive pretty good and have drove in two major cities my backing still needs work but I can get by without hitting anything just takes me a few tries at it and I ok be drop and hook but the runs will be a lot to LA and other very large cities but I am not for sure if I am really ready to be out on my own I don't want to tear up anything or worse kill someone or lose my cdl by not being ready but with two felonies I don't have a lot of compines willing to give me a chance maybe if I had someone drive team with me I would feel better til I felt ready should I take this job or keep looking
