    Why do you not give the name of the company your working for? It sounds like your happy there, I don't understand why you wouldn't be proud of saying who it was... Idk just me I guess

    You're either succeeding or not ... nobody can tell you you're not, when you are. Or, do you lack the confidence that you will succeed?

    Thats what I'm saying. Alls I'm sayin is if I were that happy, I would have no problem bragging if you will about the company that is good to me. By making such a point to not say the company name makes me wonder if the grass ain't so green. Anyways good luck, I've thought over the lease deal and I can't find any program other than SNI choice that sounds good. Even with my company (Roehl) it's no great deal, sure I may make a few hundred dollars more but deff not worth the headaches just my opinion ofcourse. I wish you the best of luck in your travels

    I'm home now. Tomorrow's settlement will be $1027 that's after I took $350 in advances.

    I am confident in my abilities to run my truck, and so far, the company is holding up their end of the deal.
    If I can get these numbers 3/4 of the time, I'm fine with it. I'll reveal the company name after 5 full settlements.

    I don't want to say all is well until I get a good month to get an average. When I reach week 5 I'll spill the beans regardless of good or bad, right now, looks good.

    I hope you succeed ... But I see a fundamental business problem here, nothing to do with the lease.

    Why are you taking advances?

    A key reason for failure of start ups is under capitalization ... I hope I'm misreading you here, but you appear to be on that path.

    It was just for the first few weeks until the settlements caught up to me.
    I don't make a habit of advancing.
    I just wanted to reflect that profit would be higher without advancing. Going to be all good from here

    I caught a flu bug while I was out and about and came home to be sick. Luckily it's looking like a 24hr bug and I already feel better now than last night.
    Have a good holiday if that's your thing .

    Back in Alabama today. Got to unload early and I'm set to reload from the same city going back to Michigan. It's already a good week.
    It will be nice when snow is no longer in anyone's forecast. Let it be spring already!

    On the way down, I had a trailer tire blow up on me. Super single. It did it in a violent way and the rim needed replacing too.
    Total road service call $1890.15
    not having to worry about paying it out of pocket? Priceless.
