    Their posted jobs seem to be a mix of regular Wage jobs and some Independent Contractors. At a glance, it looks like Class Bs are regular employees while Cargo Van or Class C gets to do the contractor deal and lease their vehicle.

    I did something like this once before for a company called Tri-State. I tried to get out of commercial driving, but I'm having a tough time in this economy still. I now live in Iron Mountain, MI in the U.P. close to the border and this company has a terminal nearby in Niagra, WI.

    Leasing a vehicle and being a contractor always seems weird to me, but maybe it somehow works out after taxes?

    As for the job, it sounds more regional and I should be home daily. I might have to run crap to Green Bay, WI.

    Hi VIDEODROME, they've been around a while, but like any small package delivery, it doesn't pay much, and they will run you ragged, as I'm sure there's all kinds of loopholes for package delivery hours. I did a package delivery with my own mini-van for a while. After expenses, was barely minimum wage.
    Not sure you still want T/T, but Gunville is always looking for drivers. Lot of trucking out of Green Bay and Fox Valley.
