    In the 2 weeks i hve been running i have hauled for 4 different brokers/companies.


    on annother note, i have had a problem with only having 1 fan speed on the dash control knob, so yesturday Dino and I stopped at a Rush dealership and they sold me a resistor to most likely fix the problem and it WORKED, 1 thru 4 fan speed setting. whoo hoo.

    ON the Financial side of things, i have spent the day looking for some operating capitol for the business as i am running low of my own funding.

    I started out at my bank to find out they dont make business loans to new startup co. nor would they consider making a loan on my personal pickup, so off the the credit union, a little more receptive but in the end i was declined because i cannot verify my income at this point. so it back to my last option and that is a short term loan from a friend.

  5. Have you considered factoring a few of your loads to start? I wouldn't want to rely on that as a long term solution, but it may be right for your immediate situation.

    You might want to Limit yourself to brokers with the quick pay option for a while till you build up a fatter operating fund.

    I've got a good friend that operates that way and only waits 48 hours for his settlements..always gets a fuel advance and the balance in a couple of days.

    With the price of fuel etc these days.....it's almost a necessity to work that way....

    Unless you got DEEP pockets, you run out of $$$$$ quick. I guess you found out.

    Best of luck.
