Workshops on How to start your own trucking company .....
I'm sorry, but if you don't know how to do it, you're probably not ready to do it.

Other than that, looks like a fun time.

See ya all at Casino Night !

I'm sorry, but if you don't know how to do it, you're probably not ready to do it.

Hence the use of the "How to" at the beginning. Leave that off and it's a very different seminar.

Just because you don't already know how to do something doesn't mean you shouldnt learn about how to do it. I've learned all about how to use chopsticks and I'm still not ready.

Did you roundhouse kick your way out of the womb with all the knowledge you have now? That statement doesn't make much sense, you have to start somewhere.

My point is by the time you've been in the biz long enough to be ready to start your own company, you'll probably have picked up most of the knowledge of how to do it.
I'd hate to see someone selling services to the person that starts their first post :
I just bought a Sprinter. I'm going to be a fleet owner. How do I find a freight and what should I charge ?
We see it often.
That's a discussion for another day.
This thread is here to promote the good and fun to be had at the expo.

 

[MikeDamone]

I understand what you mean. However, even if I had all the knowledge I would still probably check it out. Always good to hear from people with experience. But you are correct, this is a discussion for another day.
