If you don't want people to comment on things, don't post your life story on a public forum. We didn't need to know the details, all you had to say was you had bad credit, and needed to find someone who would finance you. YOU made the decision to share all the details of your misfortune.

Hm...... You want to give up $915 a week, home every day, benefits... to become a cargo van owner.............. and you say you 'must be crazy'... and the people here have talked you out of it???
I don't even know how to answer that. All I can say is, if you can't make it on what you have, with paid benefits, what on EARTH would make you think you could make it WITHOUT them on a cargo van driver's pay? All ya need is some medical bills to knock ya right out!
I think you should thank everyone who made ANY coment you considered negative, or discouraging, and made you not want to do this. 'In my opinion' you don't have a clue what it takes to be successful in this business. Owning a semi, leased to a regular company, and letting someone else drive it, is a far cry from scratching your bucks from a van. Believe me, I've driven a van AND a truck out here, it takes more than just 'knowing how to drive'.. you have to know THIS business, not driving in general... Expediting and Regular trucking are 2 different animals.
To succeed out here, you have to have a secure financial base to fall back on, knowledge of the industry, willingness to accept responsibility for your own actions AND the results of them, good OR bad, a good attitude, a strong will, and thick hide. You don't seem to be scoring to high on any of these. Maybe you shoud stick to being a 'Company Driver', it suits you better
Pansies, wimps, and crybabies need not apply. Momma's not gonna be here to wipe your bloody nose, dry your little tears, and yell at the big bad man who hurt your widdle feelins.
