    November to remember and chit chat

    I see you put the things in a comfortable manner... to socialize is one (nice) thing, to be socialist it's hell. Well, one step away from hell, 'cause the next step directly into hell is communism...

    Cheap cargo van--good idea?

    It sounds like you got a real good deal on that van... I bought back in April '09 an used 2004 E-350 for $4,700 with 150,000 miles on it. It seemed to be a very well maintained company vehicle, it belonged to Raymond. When I sold it, it had over 500,000 miles, and I only sold it (for peanuts) to...

    Cheap cargo van--good idea?

    I wouldn't go for a '99 van, unless I'll drive it locally. For your needs, to cross the country, try something much newer, I'd say at least ten years "younger" than the one you intend to buy...

    fuel card- advances

    Bolt Express not so express

    $.25/mi in 2011??? Wow! 20 years ago I was getting 26 cpm driving a TT. Anyways, as you said, with Bolt you can make some nice bucks doing just shorties, 'cause unlike other carriers wannabe that gives you a short one per day or not even that, Bolt might get you 5 or 6 shorties in a single day...
