    If that's true it's nothing to think about. That's a no brainer.. I'd leave tomorrow if I was offered that... Without a thought

    Place has been in business for over 70 years. It's a 52 week contract with auto renew. Reason there's a spot a guy retired. Of coarse I now would pay for everything but at least I know what I am paying for etc

    I guess the reason I am hesitant is I have had a blast being a IC. Go visit friends work when I want etc. what if I don't like doing the same thing each week? I know once you leave its bye bye Pumkin patch.

    Well the money sounds like it's there, depends if you are willing to do the same thing over and over again endlessly. Plus being it's dedicated that means no running away from bad winter weather in Colorado when it hits.
    It's a lifestyle decision.. only u know the answer.

    The weather is an issue at times. But there are 3 ways to get there so to speak. Yep, the money is right etc. Thanks for the advise. Stay tuned

    @CaptainDaveG
    That is dedicated $1/4 million a year gross home weekends deal in Colorado of all places.
    If it were me i would nail it even if u didnt want to run it personally.
    I'm sure at that rate you could hire a driver yourself to run that contract and still do pretty well for yourself.
    Dunno how insurance would work or if the customer would accept that.
    Just an idea...
    That's a good deal and would be hard to pass up getting some action on it if that were me.
    To gross $5k in 5 days at Schneider is near impossible these days and that offer is for dedicated! :eek:
