    Independent or Company...

    I did both the class-a through a school training and then got my class-b on my own. If I had to do it again I would skip the school and grab the class-b first - just to see if you like this kind of work without investing alot of cash.

    Looking into Expediting

    My thought after running a van last year and just know going into a straight truck is - get rid of the van. There is too may of them out there and most of them can sit for days on days. Whereas, I have been going anywhere from 3-4000 miles per week in my straight truck and have ONLY sat still...
