EO is a greta place for experience and truth in answers. They have all given you very good answers. I would guess none of them met your real desire to hear someone say "Go fo it. It is great and will make you a rich person." I know that is what I wanted to hear and it was exactly what I heard...

Since we are talking about Sprinters and Good Luck, one of my drivers wants to get into that and has bugged me to death about buying one. I am not in a position to do so nor do I want to handle that as an owner for her to drive but am trying to help her. I took her to FYDA Freightliner here in...

Good Luck! I really can not speak for Sprinters but I have straight trucks with Express1. I have driven for them and now own with them and have a freind that was there a number of years. You will love it. Like I said, not sure about Sprinters and the money in it, I hear it is good, but as a...

Glen, Thanks for the info. As for being bored, I thought I would love having drivers in my trucks and being home. You know fish, take care of some things around the house etc. Well, with my trucks rolling and all my friends working, once things are done around the house and fishing does get old...

Does anyone have a contact name for flatbed Sfoam loads? I got my hands on a hot shot set up and am looking into hauling that with this little flatbed. Everything else I have looked into for a "keeep me busy" type run has not panned out. My expediting trucks are running well but I am bored out...

Great question. I need some help as well. I have done everything to date without any plan and I want to add a few more trucks and need some help with a written plan for the bank. A-Team will you please contact me at [email protected] I would like some advice if possible. raceman

Thanks very much for the reply. I can say I jumped and typed with emotion before thinking. Slowhand contacted me in a private note and I thank them as well. I am very sensitive to this type of thing. I have lost nine close to me as a result of 911 and the war. I just flipped when I saw the post...

I just realized there is a question on here very much like mine. Sorry for repeating. I am not really looking to start my own business. I am trying to put one of my trucks on somewhere I can run a more controlled schedule in it. I am giving up on trying to find a driver for it. The others are...

I am sure this has been on here before but I did not search and was not really interested in the past. I am loosing a driver in the next week in one of my trucks. I am having a heck of a time finding anyone to put in there and for that reason I think I am just going to jump in myself. I have...

I am not sure what to think about this at all. I do know with out some more explanation in your question, this is very concerning. I think you better clear this up quickly or be prepared for some follow up investigation. A friend of mine is a detective in reveiwing this kind of thing over the...

I have to say this is a great idea. I have no idea how to make it work but a great idea. I have had a horrible time to keep a good driver in one of my trucks. They have not been bad people just lazy. They tend to want to work half a day then vacation. I know there are good drivers out there. I...

I do have a shop I recommend in Indiana. They are in South Bend and KOKOMO. Schille National Lease. These are the folks that actually bailed me out of trouble. I had used them in SouthBend a number of times and I finally called Scott out there, told him of my trouble and he said they had a place...

As I told you in an earlier message, I had a real bad experience out in Indiana with a garage. I am still fighting this with the BBB and Att. General office and a Lawyer. The problem is bad enough that I want to be sure you are warned. I69 Truck and Trailer outside Muncie, it is actually...

Folks have given you all the right advice. I have been looking at all kinds of options for my trucks and me personaly. I have looked at HotShot work for me to keep busy while my drivers keep my other trucks running. I have looked at my own authority so that I can run during slow times and I have...

I am wondering if anyone has any freight sites they recommend. I currently use DirectFreight and GetLoaded.com. A few months ago I chnged my trucks from teams to solo. During slow periods it really seems to hit solo trucks hard. I like to look for freight myself during these periods. Any...

I hear you. I have had that feeling many times. I look back on it and I would say it is 75% good and 25% bad. The 75% that are good to us are real good and my experience with the bad 25% has been real bad. I was coming out of NJ and had one guy trying to run me off the road. I told him on the CB...

I have run team and solo for Tri State. I highly recommend Tri State for any straight truck teams. I have never run as much as I did when I ran team for them.I do not recommend them for solo trucks. I do not know much about ConWay. Call Greg at Tri State and he will fill you in. raceman

All of the replys are correct. Expediting is a way of life and home time is not the way to make money in this business. If you are an O/O I might be able to help you. I do have some possibilities with comapny I lease to and recriut for. In your area I could most likely get you home a couple days...

Thanks for all the input. To be clear, I want to do this myself. I am not getting out of Expediting. My trucks have drivers in them and are on the road. I want to do this myself more or less to keep myself on the road. I love being out on the road. I just thought HotShot might be a way to go out...

I am currently owner of a few trucks in Expediting and very much want to begin doing delivery of trailers. Campers and anything else. I have drivers in my trucks and want to do Hot Shotting myself. Does anyone know how to best get in this business? Any websites? So On raceman
