    This conversation? No. I literally just signed up on this site to get some advice on this subject. It's the 1st post I've ever had on here.

    Thanks. It is possible thats what he meant. If so, he should say what he means and leave the popcorn off the reply.

    He means this topic has been covered over 1000 different times here on this forum. You can find the answer to each and every one of your questions if you take the time and effort to search for them instead of us dealing with the monotony of answering the same questions over and over and over again,.. and again and,.. yet again.

    Not that we dont want to help. Its just that it becomes like a 5 yr old asking "Are we there yet?"

    The popcorn should be taken as a clue that there might be some drama involved dealing with this topic. If you decide to stick around,.. you will understand where all this is coming from.

    Actually it was posted twice in this forum and the admins may have merged it.

    Correct. Duplicate threads started by the OP were merged into this one.

    Understand the frustration of seeing the same questions appear. Guess I was raised differently. Rather than drama and pics of popcorn bags I would simply and respectfully direct the one asking the question to the previously posted forums.

    I was raised differently as well. I've personally answered and written up so many responses to so many different topics I cant begin to give you a direct link to any of them. Its not like I keep a rolodex that I can thumb through and every person who decides to pop in for 3 or 4 posts for a quick hand holding session gets some free consulting.

    Call me cold hearted or what ever crosses your mind, but my kids are grown and out of the house. My days of educating and guidance boil down to what ever mood I find myself in that morning.

    So many of us here have helped and have written volumes of pages. So please,.. just use the search feature. I promise you,.. seek and you shall find. If by chance you can not find an exact answer or simplified version of what you are looking for,.. then state the subject,.. ask a direct question,.. and someone will either answer you,.. or if they find the subject already written,.. will more than likely point you in the right direction.

    We are truckers. We piss and moan over pretty much anything. Popcorn and drama is a cheap date around here.

    If you feel you have a good chance at being successful starting a new company, you should definitely go for it! You never know unless you try it out. There will always be a few obstacles, but it seems like you’ve thought through many of them already and can overcome them to find success in this business. We wish you the best of luck! – The Speedco Team

    Somebody already said it: start calling insurance brokers and see what kind of numbers they hit you with for a general liability policy on a new venture, if they even will write you one. There are some good leads if you search this website like I have in the past. I have a hunch they ain't going to like this idea though so don't bother buying any trucks or offering a job to anybody until you've looking into that.
