    Oh you can have that 4+ going in but getting there and coming out put a big dent into it. Plus it's too tight an area many times for our truck. We'll leave that to the smaller trucks. Did NJ a few times no thanks. Just not worth time and cost.

    You know, Cybercat I am really impressed with your planning and persistence and courage. I am so far from having the courage to break away from the umbrella of running under a company authority its like a whole 'nother world.

    Yes, it is. Going threw the way he has from ODFL to Equity helped him adjust. After this year we will be in Landstar for a bit then our own Authority after that. All steps it a risk some say, but the rewards are much higher too. It the American dream owning your own business.

    Have you ever checked into being able to lease with someone else (Landstar ) and still make the payments to the owner? I know Schneider will let you do it. Might be a way to move on without having to ride it out to the bitter end.
    Just trying to help

    Man, I wish you and your husband the best, but I honestly don't see this turning out well. Just wrong in so many ways. Good luck and God bless .
