I have my CDL A was driving OTR but due to a injury I had to take some time off. I went through a MEGA company training program and had a year contract to cover my CDL training cost. I was on month 10 of my contract when I was injured working as a lease operator for them and when I tried to go back they are trying to force me into another year contract (they are trying to reset my year commitment to cover my CDL training). I was only out for a month and a half due to a injury and it doesn't sit well with me that they are trying to do this so I will not be going back.
My intent was to buy a truck this coming summer and lease it on to another company. I already have my own LLC and was doing well with my lease truck until the injury. I had been looking into running hot shot trucks as well as expediting because I wanted to get away from the big trucks.
Right now I have a 2006 Extended Ford E350 with a diesel. I'd like to give expediting a trial run before investing in a Sprinter and I'm curious if there is anywhere I can go with a older cargo van like that? I have good credit and have money saved so if expediting works it's not a issue for me to buy a newer van but I don't want to jump into that commitment with out having tested the waters first.
Is there anywhere I can run this van, I'm based in central Florida?
edit.. also for the record, I'm well versed with living on the road in a van. Prior to trucking I did a ton of traveling in a camper van for about 4 years. Meaning I understand drawbacks of cargo vans and so forth.
