Seems a friend of mine wants to be "just like Mike" well I mean "dabluzman" (all except for the part of sleeping with my wife) and get into the expediting biz.
He has been watching Linda and my success??? over the past two years and feels this may be for him.
Okay now here is where we split on being "just like"........
He doesnt have a cdl nada zippo zilch. ( he is studing to get a B + hazmat)
But, he did find some non cdl opportunities.
He ran this one by me to get my opinion.
Chevy van, no sleeper, diesel 20-25 mpg.
leased to a smaller carrier serving midwest no canada.
60/40 split he pays fuel and gets fsc.
He will need three to four weeks expense money ( including fuel and tolls)
as there isnt a fuel card available so the driver needs to cover costs until
settlements start to roll in.
Owner says 800 to 900 gross pay b4 fuel per week on average.
So not being a sprinter man and not knowing the costs involved in operating
one I used what I have learned from driving a D and DR.
I told him, DONT DO IT.
So he didnt.
Comments please.
