Interesting replies everyone. I do appreciate everyone jumping on here with their thoughts. For myself, I am not sure what I would have done differently, but it has been on my mind a lot as far as my future goes. I almost passed away 5 or 6 times this year and have spent from February...

MikeDamone Come on and join us haha, we'll make it an expediters' party and get together haha. Would be nice to meet some of you guys anyway and just talk. Seems like everyone here has an interesting story, would be a good time to get together. I'm in middle Tennessee if anyone decided...

Hummer53 I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you have recovered from the loss at this point.

Steady Eddie Still hasn't asked for that drink, but I'm sure he will come around haha.

Ok, so this is kind of just out of curiosity and fun.. If you could go back to your mid to late 20's, what would you have done differently? Would you have still gone into expediting? If so, what are the things you wish you knew back then that you know now? If not, what would you have done...

Steady Eddie I know what you mean about the aviation lifestyle. I am certainly ready for the lifestyle change. I have always had a draw towards owninig a business myself. I guess the ultimate thing I was trying to figure out here is net profit per truck for the average fleet owner. Seems...

Steady Eddie I apologize if I took your comment the wrong way, please forgive me. I've just sprained my ankle and had a tooth pulled in the same day so my mood has been more on the "irritable" side of things. Anyhow, I did take your comment saying "I'm confused" as if you were calling my...

Steady Eddie I have no idea what you mean??? Are you just here to pick a fight or do you have a legit question or concern, if so, state the question/concern rather that pointing to your "mommy" and accusing someone you've never met before of lying. For one, I do not see where my advantage...

Point blank........ I am just curious, is fleet ownership really worth it from a financial standpoint? Another blunt question, what can a fleet owner expect to earn on a per truck basis point black? My goal is around 15 trucks overall. My business experience is experience is extensive as I...

Moot Hey man, I'm a newbie here haha. I get your point though. I am just trying to really learn the business side of things best I can. I am getting ready to start driving for a fleet owner so hopefully that will answer most of my questions. Thanks for the help though.

Thanks for the reply. I am certainly doing deep research, just figure I would start out with open ended questions here so that I can really narrow down my specific questions. Questions such as: What is the average price for fuel. What is the average cost of insurance for a D model truck. What...

What would you guys say is the key to profitability in this industry? Also, how can I average out operating expenses vs average miles per week?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me an average of all costs involved with FedEx CC, including the average truck payment for a surface truck vs White glove truck? What would you say the average mileage per week is as well? Thanks so much

Hello everyone, I am currently putting together a business plan as far as straight truck expediting goes and I was hoping to get some real planning and strategy advice. I will try and keep this short and to the point, but ANY information would help just so much. So I will try putting this into...

Thanks for all of your replies everyone. I've done the truckload driving stuff but I really want to go into a more niche market. I did the expediting thing for a short time but the fleet owner I drover for was not very respected or highly regarded in the industry. Even though my manager at...

Hello everyone, new here and somewhat new to expediting. I did about a 1 month stretch, really enjoyed it but unfortunately the fleet owner wasn't well regarded in the industry and we had an inside glimps as to why. I'm looking at possibly getting back in but I had a few questions regarding...
