Hey there Red, thanks so much for the update. Your experience is the model for anyone who is considering a venture like this. Just a suggestion,...
And I agree there sure is no shortage of trucks. There are GREAT trucks selling for DIRT CHEAP right now. Perhaps the jobs that I'm seeing are...
All understood, but I'm still confused. The media (always a trustworthy source of The Truth in our country:biggrin_25512:) keeps pushing the...
Allright, so I've been lurking around since my last post, reading, planning, learning. At this point I'm thinking I should just stay the heck...

BTW I am not advocating that people CHEAT on their taxes, but it's amazing what the law will allow. The scenario I described... having a...
