    BC, Geo never said he made $500 in 8 hours. He usually speaks of $1.75 per mile. $500 for 8 hrs is worth getting out of bed for.

    220 miles could be 4-6 hours over there. And if another 6 hrs of work ? If $200 for 12 hrs, Sprinter and driver, that's only $16.66 per hour before fixed expenses, variable expenses, risk, and ROI. Would you buy a Sprinter to work for $11-$12 per hour ?

    That's why I asked Geo what his 220 mile 11stop day paid. I guess we'll never know. And how much time was involved. Ya know, 110 miles loaded at $1.75 per mile and 110 empty plus 6 hrs loading/delivering may not be worth getting out of bed for. At least for some of us.

    Emergency fund, where should you put it?

    I remember one night my ex-wife found two $100 bills in my wallet. She thought it be nice to go to dinner and a movie. I explained that I would be going by the bank in the morning to place them in our emergency fund. If I remember correctly, she told me " Where to put our emergency funds "...

    Read on here all night. Go beg the dealer to let you out of the deal. If you give him $500-$1000 consider it money well spent. This limits your losses. Unless you need a place to live, the Promaster, or you need the tax write off. Go drive a van for 6 months and then see if you want to buy...
