Welcome GoGetter! A couple, eh? There are several wonderful couples that expedite and post here. The rest of us aren't quite partner worthy :grin:

Best o' luck to you in your return to the often wacky world of expediting. I agree with Mailer; would be interesting to hear about your transition out of, and back into, expediting.

Lol. Thanks yes we are a couple, my Wife and I made the transition out to open a bar the adult kind lol. Got tired of that after several years. That business is profitable but burns you out! We then decided not to go back to the suit and tie or corporate 9 to 5 so here we are back on the road where we can get paid to see our wonderful country again!

Would love to hear from you about your business transitions. Many of us had those thoughts of switching and get out of the driving. Beside starting another business, are there any other driving related issues that you decided to switch. And, for what reasons you have chosen to return to driving vs starting other non-driving business. We can certainly benefit from your inputs. Thanks in advance and welcome back.

Thanks mailer,

We both have corporate backgrounds and neither of us want that again. We are still considering starting another business but we love being on the road together. We have never been afraid to take on a new venture and having the experience in driving OTR in this business made the decision to transition back a little easier. If you can take the bad with the good you can make it in almost any business..

LOL!!! I'm considering Bolt as a possible switch. I had a bad experience with them back in '09, but I guess things changed over there. At least that's what a friend of mine tells me...

Hopefully, there are to many people trying to make a living there.

8:00 p/u Long Island to Syracuse Ny. Short run but better than not running and it paid well..

I am good for now.... Honestly I wanted to do Panther just for the heck of it...

Going on a whirlwind, all expenses paid tour of expedite companies? Don't forget to go with the multi-carrier model.

Thanks for sharing GOGETTER. I thought about taking on the non-driving business too. But I'm afraid the road will call me back; I might as well stay put and enjoy the drive. I guess it's in the blood now, lol.

Saturday night: back to KC on my own dime. Sunday: Truman Museum in Independence. Enjoyed it but wanna do it again sometime when not in a crappy mood. Monday night: to Louisville on own dime. Last night: Seymour IN to Detriot. Typing this after nap at the 'Troiter, and will roll towards home, in service. If no joy by 1800 or State College, then start weekend. Broke as hell.
