As the saying goes, freedom isn't free. As an O/O you are exposed to more financial risk but for me it is worth it. I could never go back to a real job.

Sure, blame it on Bush.

While researching expediting he apparently missed your embrace the stupidity post. Just did some research. It was Newt that started that thread where Turtle coined the phrase: Embrace the stupidity...

You needn't call me sir, Moot will do fine. Having a spouse with a full time job and hopefully medical benefits that cover you and your daughter are a great advantage for you starting out in expediting.

Go for it! I was just offering a way to get you some T/T experience that you could parlay into a high paying LTL job. If you don't want drive a T/T just say so. I know I don't want to drive one and one more van out here probably won't have any effect on my income. Good luck!

Sir, is your wife employed?

To add to Turtle's post, lenders were more apt to delay foreclosure proceedings and let people remain in their houses because; they couldn't afford to maintain any more vacant properties and they were hoping for a government bailout.

Excellent!

I used Windows Paint to bake the cake. Then I saved it to My Pictures and uploaded it to Photobucket. I copied the Photobucket version, logged on to E.O., started this thread and pasted the picture. For me it isn't simple, but it is fun!

There are no limitations for cooking one's self in a van. You want well done, Laredo in August. Slow cook, Kansas City in May. Poached, Savannah in June. See, no limitations.

I was just making a joke. I did live near a store called Food Lane when I was a kid. Ching Johnson, a customer was shot in the store during a robbery. He survived and one of the bullet holes could be seen in the acoustic ceiling tile near the entrance.

The Food Hamlet chain I speak of is owned by El-MER-JOHN-SON Food Stores. The first Food Hamlet opened in 1963 in the wheat growing hamlet of White Butte, SD about 25 miles north of Bison, SD where OVM and Juju reside.

They're also scattered around west central South Dakota but are smaller, Food Hamlet not Food Town or Food City.

According to his post the furniture store people hand out his card to customers. Their responsibility ends there. The customers then contact JonH for delivery arrangement's. This makes it difficult to put together multiple loads and he gets stuck with the debris. He might do better getting...

Can you be more specific? Are you picking up at a distribution center and delivering to vitamin stores? Are there currently others doing this? If so you would have to keep your price in line with theirs to be competitive. You also need to know your own costs like fuel, maintenance...

You could look into an outfit like Swift or other entry level truckload company that would pair you with a driver trainer. You would probably have to commit to 6 months or more, but it would give you experience to get on with an LTL.

I agree with RoadTime. Get on with an LTL company. You should be able to gross $60K with full bennies and be home every day.

Good thing the movie Bullit came out in the late 60's. The plot and acting was a bit thin but the car chase was way cool. Replace the Charger and the Mustang with a Volt and Prius and that movie would have tanked before it left Hollywood.
