Thank You, Once again, you have exceeded my expectations in delivering answers. Appreciated. I had the same thoughts about the courier opportunities . I did see 3 that had potential just from a quick look. MidWest Expediting.com. Expedited freight in cargo vans and straight trucks...

I appreciate all your responses ... Turtle, Thanks for that long definition and clearing me up on a few things about expediting. I guess my main problem is the fact that I am not ready to give up my current job but I have the itch to get out there again. I am just looking for a...

Lol Turtle............. Sorry , If I seemed a little crued everyone, i was just making a point. Cheri, Do not crunch your nose like that, I was only getting your goat. I was just throwing ideas out there and wanting opinions is all. Love ya all

I understand where you are coming from. I have a class A, just FYI and expediting does not mean that you have to stay out for months, it is what you have been led to believe because there is no other alternative for you at this time. Expediting simply means getting a product to a...

Cheri, I never said or implied that anyone picking on me because of my last name. Officer ? I am a retired correctional officer does that count ? Expediting does not simply mean going from point A to point B. Expediting simply entails getting the product to a specific location by a...

Hello. I also wanted to comment that you could work at McDonalds and make the same amount that I would be making driving part time,that is by the time that you deducted everything from my earnings. The real thrill comes from having your own business and making it work , the...

Jack Berry, Yes, i was thinking of courier work. I actually had that in mind and is what I was referring too. I will be available at 1400 hrs, which is still early in the afternoon during the weekdays. There is alot of companies that do not ship till after that time. You could easily make 4...

Turtle, Thanks for that response...feasable is someone who is able to do something ...feasible is something that is worth looking into. feasable has not made it into the dictionary at this time. Thanks bud

Xo6col, I think you need to take some english classes. That will do you more good than anything. Learning how to communicate is a big part of expediting. If you plan on doing something like I described , you will need to be able to communicate. I Do Not think you will make it home to fish...

Hi, Thank you for the replies. However, I do not see how i would be limited to weekend runs, plenty of local runs going on after 2pm in the area through the weekdays. Expediting does not just mean taking the long runs but also the inner city runs, plenty of freight that needs to get to...

Hello, A quick question , which I am sure will get ridiculed. First off, I plan on doing this without quitting my present job , which is straight days. I just miss the road after being on it and expediting for a local mom and pop company, there were just no benefits. Is the reason I...

Yes, I can back up in any dock . I could if I chose to make lane changes when unsafe as you describe, but I choose not to for obvious reasons. You my freind P51bombay need to get off the road if you do this. My main question was is it normal to feel timid (that could have been misleading ) or...

Hi, I was wondering if there is a place for me or if I should not consider this field. I drove a prisoner bus for 7 yrs or so, and later thought after 16 yrs in corrections that I would enjoy driving as a career. I went to a CDL school and got my A I drove for a local mom and pop...

ok, let me make myself more clear I would like to gross enough to save 20k per year. The new van will be paid for by cash. I should have no personal living expenses other than food. other than xm radio , van ins, health ins health = 240 xmradio= 14 van ins= 200 food = 300

Yes, Thank you...I never pass up freebies .
