    Thanks Olko!!! Some guys and/or galls get into this great and wonderfull business of expediting, drive for a while (3 to 6 months or maybe a year) and they get this whim, to start their own full blown expediting service, (do you have $20k or $25k to get started) That is an overall long term...

    I guess some people can't take constructive criticism. If you think my post was useless, you must really be green. Have a nice day.

    To be a newbe and to know what I know now, I'd turn and run as far away from those liers as I can, or go to prison beating one of them to death. What is it with all you guys wanting to join the wonderfull team of expediting? Don't any of you read the posts on this site. I don't work for any of...

    You will probably get alot of feed back about this, so let me add my 2 cents now. I feel this is a great truck, but is priced much to high, and the box is small. $35k or $40k tops would be about all I'd pay.

    Feelin sorry for ya....

    It is a good feeling to see someone out there able to turn things around, and come out on top. This industry(expediting)is an addiction and it is very hard to detox from it. AA and NA both have 12 step programs to help people stay off drugs and alcohol. I may come up with a step program to help...

    What a deal!!!

    The joke about the hiring of the drivers is just an insider to those that know what is going on. I don't know much about Thompson. Most of the larger companies want to have or must have a certain number of drivers on hand to provide the service in thier contracts with customers. In this business...

    Why would you have gone and spent the money to get your own authority, and not checked into all the other things involved in what it takes to start a business? Did you put a business plan together, so you can get a loan, if you need one! To start a business properly, and to do the right thing is...
