Since I started expediting I've been approach and/or accepted been request to come to several big name trucking companies. At first u seriously considered it so I could get a free CDL and experience so I could go to a straight truck. But honest after all the horror stories you hear about the majors I just decided to stick in a van and enjoy the freedom of self employment.

I don't think we'll ever regret coming to this same conclusion. The freedom and the only boss is your own bank account.

That is ok but,think about the future,where will you be in 10 or 20 years,if you are doing well enough to bank some money then you will be ok,if not, then you may be holding your self back. I don't mean to get in your business,just friendly advice.
