You need to read more here than you have. Keep your class A. When you can pay cash for a nice van, with a few grand in reserve, check to see how vans are doing. If you try it, you can always go back to big trucks and have a nice paid off van at home. Remember THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB.

There's a German restaurant just a few blocks up rt 11. Maybe even walking distance . If you're tired of roller dogs. If you go south and have time check out White's Petro. Believe they have a park like area and a new bowling alley. Also, good Buffett.

Just read from top again and if $1000 per rental is too much then the carrier angle will be too much. Unfortunately, truck ownership is more costly than the average person can begin to imagine. A simple breakdown and a short tow can be $500 just for the tow. To a shop that needs to overnite...

Have you considered looking for a carrier ? When you look at purchase price, insurance, upkeep, etc you may be better off trying to hire a carrier. Take your 4 last shows and figure your real cost if you owned a truck. Then go to the home page here and call a few mid sized carriers and ask for...

Funny thing. Some Union guy at the Dunkin Donuts counter just announced I better go. I got to unload some jerk jack in one of them funny little vans.

Labor costs of 75% Where do I sign on ?

Makes sense. The Big Guy was playing air drums when HE crashed the site earlier today.

Going to try to get that book to read over the weekend. Big Dave Ramsey fan. Suggest anyone reading this book read plenty of reviews on it first. They're all over the place from this is the best thing since sliced bread to he's basically a moron and his ideas are illegal in Europe. Still...

Rich Dad Poor Dad Got to wonder if it's a story of a guy that got into expediting late in life.
