I think you hit the nail on the head my friend! No one has painted a pretty picture in any way, but I sure thank you and everyone else for your honesty. I am glad I am talking this out with nice people like yourself. The courier job does not sound so bad.....if one can make a decent living...

That is amazing to her the stats of people not staying in this business. I cannot relate to that, but I certainly take what you say to heart. My wife will certainly have a huge impact on my decision, but I am quite sure she would want to travel with me if I do decide to try the business...

Glad to hear from someone who understands how I feel about being stuck for the past 26 years. Your advice to enter the business slowly as opposed to dishing out $40k plus and then deciding I do not like the business is something I will certainly do. I would hope I would love the business, but I...

Well, it is now Monday evening...and yes....you have given me much to think about for sure. Having been in an office job all these years, I admit it is still scarey....like the unknown for me. You must love the business, but you have figured out how to run a successful business for yourself...

I can certainly tell that you had been doing this job for quite a while. You certainly sound like a seasoned driver. I was figuring that I would either have to travel north or south from where I am living. Flomaton, AL is 45 miles both of P'cola, FL and 60 miles east of Mobile. It seems it...

What wonderful advice you seem to be giving me! I really do thank you for your honesty as it sounds like you are certainly speaking from the heart. My wife is retired from the banking industry, but we absolutely love being together. Even though she is not so comfortable with my possible career...

Considering that I live in southern Alabama, can you suggest a reputable company I coud speak with about the business? I honestly have no idea what owner operator can make, much less what I could make doing a test run in someone else's Sprinter. I think it is a wonderful way to test the waters...

I sure do appreciate your honesty about all that you said. It is just my wife and I at home. Neither of us are geared to spend above our means, so I certainly understand about being ultra conservative and "not counting our chickens before tey hatch". Your advice of testing the waters is a...

Hello from Southern Alabama! My name is Dusty Godwin. Dealing with trucking companies and drivers on a daily basis for the past 26 years, I have desired the past 4 or 5 years to own my own Sprinter cargo van and be in business for myself....based on my conversation with one gentleman several...
