I appreciate all the information on buy vans and/or driving for fleet owner versus ower operator-Thank You. It seems some think driving your own vehicle is better way to go. Still not sure on that right now. Driving for fleet owner gives you a chance to get used to the business. But owner operator gives you much more freedom.
I have 2 questions to pose today. The first is I am checking out a fleet operator out of Indiana, whose vehicles drive for C & M Expediting. This fleet owner has cube vans in his stable. They pay a little more and and can take cargo van loads and bigger. Gas mileage some similar to cargo vans I am told. So, what are some pro's and cons on cube vans?
Second question: I am single and own a home. I would much like to keep my home. And I realize that not every week is a smashing week in the expediting business. Is there others out there in this situation? One fleet owner, talking to me from his home, said that he thought this would be impossible. He also said none of his drivers owned homes-they lived with family or friends or in their vans. This sounds very unworth for all the effort to get into this business.
Well, again I thank you all for your input. Drive safe and I wish good weeks to all.
