    Cargo Van/Own Authority Start Up

    I understand. However, ya gotta pay the bills early on. Wouldn't get too concerned about factoring.....only at the last resort.....when you get the pipeline full there will always be some flowing out as long as you are consistent with your follow up billing calls. I was in your boots 15 years...

    Cargo Van/Own Authority Start Up

    Well then, seems to be plenty of nay sayers as usual. And, you have to consider your 8 years in the biz prolly exceeds many of experiences they have had. Regardless, there is no mention of what sources you have already for load opportunities, both outbound and inbound and I would agree that if...

    New York City

    I always try to go in the Apple about 3am or so, the bar flys have gone, parking at delivery is more available, and, depending , you may be able to stay. Regardless, leaving and having to go back thru that mess for a load ain't too bright. If you have a presence of mind in the madness there to...

    The new USA

    "Provide employment"?? Ya gotta be kidd'in?? What would be wrong with an immigration policy that kinda looks at "what you can do for your Country" rather than the other. Our app reviewers seem to need to look at what the anticipated contributions may be rather than (sob,sob) "I jes wanna be...

    My son and his new authority t/t

    Nothing past Texas might be the norm for the {basicly} inexperienced posters on here. He now has North America (assuming Canadian Authority) as his lunchbox. He just needs to recognize that fact. I'd not be too quick to advise him to read too much into how to run his business by reading posts...

    Some insight for a potential new team

    Gunner, There are many ways to enter this business, all the means entered by have a failure rate of equal proportions. Safest and less lucrative would be to drive for an owner untill you get a fix on what type of equipment you really want. Most enter the biz with a cookie cutter single axle...

    What would you do? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

    Yep! Pizzing away a lot of cyber on this subject. Your views depend a lot on background and socialization. Fact is.....that if my cow peez in my creek, it's called polution. But, if a deer peez in my creek, it's called nature. Never have been able to get wrapped around that one.

    Life Changing Decision

    26 buks per hour plus benies is actually 725 take home plus bennies , not an exceptional number. What are the bennies worth to you?? Many giving advice so far would jump at the boring job to my way of thinking. As a rule, for me, asking for advice such as yours is not for this site....too many...

    the straight truck club

    I'm thinking this biz was a bit too deep for the star. I'd guess she recently hooked up with an astute Carrier that didn't have time for foolishness.
