I have owned ans still own several businesses. 1 that i recently closed and will liqudate shortly was a fitness center. Yhat business boomed for a while and is still predicted to be a great business. It is full of pitfalls, and i can complain just as people in this business for whatever reason...

That is not entirely true. The net is different for everyone, I'll promise you that my net is higher on less gross if you are making a van payment! I don't owe a dime to anyone on anything to do with this business, this business does not have to net a dime, it does but i'll net more on less...

Good post Leo! If i had listend to all of those that told me that the economy was bad and that all van drivers are starving including people onnthis bord, i wouldn't be doing this today and I'd not be making enough money to support a family on. Now this business does NOT need to support me...

I don't profess to know it all, and i am sure most of you have forgot more then i know at this oint. And yea i know that screaming and burning up phone lines does nothing other then allow the screamer to vent. I am sure Longer wait times are coming, and I'll deal with them i the needed way when...

Bein the new guy on the block(started sept 1st), i guess i have nothing to base what i have done on from the past. All i can say is i have not sat longer the 38 hours between any load more then a handful of times during the week, and i have averaged a load a day during the week (mon-fri) while...

I see pass vans from time to time. My only issue would be keeping the heat in with all of that glass, other then that, i can't see why you shouldn't go for it.

Van drivers, I keep hearing that "no one is making money, everyone is going broke." Now i am not here to say i am getting rich. When i came into this 4 months ago, i was told i could not expect to pay the bills, let alone make a income for myself. Now my expectations were not to even clear a...

Thanks for another good week! I can not complain about how load planning and dispatch has worked to keep me busy. Yes there have been a few loads that weren't good, and 1 i just plain turned down as not worth the effort, but all in all, i am more then happy with how it is going. Thanks`to...

it is a simple fact, criminals are cowards. if they think they might get shot, they will back out. Keep your guns close and purchase what you can. BUT, look for a new tax on ammo. This will be obamas why to limit 2a. He will introduce a huge tax on all things related to ammo, casings, powder...
