Van o/o expediter advice

[Trucker Duke]

Good morning ALL:

I need some advice. I've expedited in the past via Straight Truck, solo... That was a few years ago and I've been dying to get back out there. I have 3 opportunities at this time. One, drive for a fleet owner. Two, getting recruited by a large company as a company driver, and Three, doing a lease purchase through a fleet owner.

Now, I'm 40 y/o, public safety background, all licenses and certifications are expired, and I've been out of work for a few years no. I can't use my CDL-B locally due to extensive back issues / surgeries / blah blah blah...

I'm torn on what to do. I know this is a tough market and vans are exploding out there and I don't want to team. Small quarters and I like my peace and quite.

What do y'all think??? Any advice would be wonderful.

Thank you all very much and drive safe out there!

drive for a small fleet company to get back in the game preferably a non CDL truck

Or file for SSD. Social Security Disability. You’re a former cop so you’ve paid your dues to the rigorous physical encounter you endured.

Drive for an owner for at least a year before you purchase a van. Many people want to do van expedite.....until they find out what it all entails.

Thank you all for your thoughts! I'm actually in communication with a couple owners out there for straight trucks. Fingers crossed.....
