Personally I wouldn't run out from Seattle and head into the unknown territories just yet. It will take some time and patience to learn about the van expediting business. Besides, you planned to enter the van business in a slower period. Keep researching, there are loads that go out of Seattle...

I like to keep an open mind. But I think this is way too soon. Not enough maintenance and service centers to support the electric vans operation. In my opinion, it's not cost effective. May be in about 20 years...May be. Interestingly, the dude that sold the ice to the Eskimos, closed the...

I hear ya. I've adjusted to the traffic, I don't fight it anymore. I surrendered, Lol.. It's a trade off for home every night. Well, it every other night now. Lol... Best part, still getting paid every Friday. Love this biz!

Hey you've got it made up there, Lol... Yesterday in LA, took me 2 hrs to get thru 30 miles. Yep, missed the drop too. Lol...

This concern can break the business and the relationships. Usually it's recommended that new comers started out having emergency savings for emergency expenses and regular savings to provide monthly income for at least 6 months.

Lol..guys...Lol..

Great idea! I kinda went into a part time retiring so that I can stay closer to home. But ntimevan might be right, my loads are doubling now. So much for home every night thing.....Lol

Picking up in Idaho again. No, not the potatoes. Lol...

Enjoyed reading your thread and thanks for the updates. Sorry to hear that your goal of driving did not pan out as expected. But hey, you've tried and acted on it. That is what matters the most. Awesome! Please do consult with your doc about the diagnosis and driving. DVT is a very serious...

Wow you got there fast. Have fun shopping at the Mall in Ontario. That should keep you both busy over the weekend Lol... Out and back load. To Nampa ID and back to Ontario this weekend. Bummer, get to spend a night in the parking lot again. Lol...

Hahaha....going to drop in OR tomorrow but should be back in LA this weekend. If I don't get back in time to be your tour guide, just remove your van's struts and shocks but leave the springs. That should give you about 9.3 on the quake scale. Lol...

Awesome! Welcome abroad.

Lol..no. Majority of the time I picked up shipments from the facilities that most expediters do not have access or equipments to move them. I do that, part of my specialty. Besides, I like home every night thing. Lol...

Ontario CA, last week I transferred a load to another driver to Texas @.73. Last night, transferred another load to Memphis @.60. You will get out, the current average waiting I've seen, ranges from 24 hrs to 4 days. There were always 5-7 vans sitting at the T/A. Don't know how many actually...

It's sad to hear the these news. RIP Tom Petty and folks in Vegas. I have always been working on my list. It's big, so big that I ain't got the time to die. After seeing this site, I think we all better hurry up. Don't click on link if you don't want to face the truth. I apologize in advance...

Good info John. And thank you! IHMO, your info and opinions are valuable. Personally, if this was my case, I would not have the time and money to fight it out. In addition, stress, frustration and anger that come during the process will certainly effect one's well-being. I'll take the karma...

Sorry to hear that. Check out this link, it might helps make the decision. weight station fines

Thank you very much brother! For excluding the Nissan off your opinion listing. Lol...:D

It might be easier to just call the dealers and ask about their program. Most dealers want to unload their vehicles, there's always a deal. Typically, credit scores and the availability of income left for the monthly payments dictate the bank's decision. Largest down payment always win the...

Own the van, my meaning to this would be that the van is paid off. If an O/O is still making the payments, he's driving for the fleet owners......the bank. Lol... And, just to get myself into even more complicated thinking...even though the van is paid off, I still won't be able to own it...
