RE: You shouldn't go into expediting

I would not have made it in this business without reserves, I took the advice of many including LBD on this site. Things did not work out as planned and had to find another carrier ASAP. Without a savings account to back me up I would have either of had to borrow against my credit cards to bridge me or just let my bills go overdue. Either would have been a diasaster. You will not survivie in this business borrowing your way out of circumstances, new carrier, truck break down, loss of income out of your control..... Once maybee but Murphy's gona get you two more times most likely.

The new carrier worked out much better than I had planned on so I almost imm, recouped everything I had lost in income that I had projected with the old carrier. Things just worked out well, and thank goodness that was last January and not this one as this year it is much slower, at least for me.
