    Well I have found a Company to lease onto, it just taking some time to get all the paper work done. If I am lucky, I'll be hitting the road end of this week. Waiting for an overnight package that I need to sign and send right back, then wait for my start up package from them and go pick up a trailer near the end of the week.

    I am also thinking of another deal, which I have a thread posted in another section on here, dealing with Safety.

    But for the time being, I am still sitting at home pulling my hair out going crazy with the walls closing in on me. Yikessssssss..

    Thank you for all having faith in me. Seems as I put one fire out, 5 more pops up. What it costs me to fax (cost of gas and fax) I would be rich just in what I spent. Least it seems like it.Srill have to go back and fax off more tomorrow. So looks like I not even going to get out this week. GGrrrr

    If you have a local workforce center near you they let you fax for free. Good luck

    Don't know of a Work Force here, but I go to the County Library, and have it done there. Use to be on Donation wise bases, but now 0.50per page. Application cost 18.00, now just 1.50 range now besides cost for gas back and forth. But thank you for the suggestion.

    Coastie, You can buy a Fax machine for less than $50, your half way there now.

    Good luck on the new job.

    And some folks in this business just won't take an email! It's all about the fax. Coastie - pm me about the fax, and I'll see if I can ship you my old fax machine when I get back to the house in a few days. I bought a new all-in-one a few months ago, so I could take my old printer/scanner on the road with me (best thing since sliced bread out here). Truckers have to help one another when they can!

    ps. It needs a new print ribbon - but it faxes out just fine.

    What a guy HPilot!
    I've got the all-in-one machine in my truck and it rocks! So far I guess I've been lucky in not running into anyone that insists on a fax. I generate my invoice, scan it along with the Billl of Lading and the load confirmation and attach to an email. That's all done within minutes of leaving the dock after a delivery. I've got all the necessary paperwork on my hard drive, so signing on with a new broker is a breeze too.

    Sorry I missed you when you were up to Nebraska. We had some pretty nasty weather come that Sunday and I figured you were itching to get the heck out of there so I didn't bother you. Hope the trailer was in good order and you're doing well!
