Since I started this I will be the first. We plan to do a little reorganizing this year. We are going to expand a bit and buy a few team trucks this year and replace some of our solo trucks if the used market allows. After he last 2 years we have a great team of drivers in place and its time to move ahead !!

This is a question mark : ?
This is an exclamation point: !
For your comments generally only one is needed.
You're getting as hard to read as IRT.

No offense meant.
Just wanting to help you compose better posts.
Mods are supposed to set good examples.

Am I the only one missing the grammar police ?

Get back into and stay in service until the Expo. I might take one week off around April or May, but want to make as much as I can and possibly trade or sell my van outright to purchase a 170 extended sprinter with a sleeper unit in it with all the bells and whistles to allow me to run without any hindrances. Also need to lose over 100 pounds. I know how to do it, just have to get my mind straight, plus not eating like I have been will save me a bunch of money. Also hope to meet some of you guys out on the road this year and keep learning as much as I can.

For me the new year is going to bring about change, I have applied to a truck driving school to get my class A, also applied for a maintenance technician job at the Publix distribution center and going to look for a new carrier to lease my truck and maybe the van with.

Not sure which one is going to happen first, but I will find out.!!!

Try to keep the van alive until the weather gets warmer! Then find one just like it with 130k or so and do the mods I wish I'd been able to afford when I bought current vehicle.

My goal this year is not to jump on OVM after some award winning post he will surly make. I failed this in 2015. Another year another goal.
