    I read your post last night, but break down that pay structure to me again. I think you said $400/day @ about 400mi/day. So basically $1/mi gross?

    Chi is the energy force of life. A google search turned up this for an answer

    In traditional Chinese culture, qi or ch'i is believed to be a vital force forming part of any living entity. Qi translates as "air" and figuratively as "material energy", "life force", or "energy flow". Qi is the central underlying principle in Chinese traditional medicine and in Chinese martial arts.

    I am sure there is more to it. And the numbers dont sound right. I need to talk to other drivers before I commit.

    What about a 16' cube on a van or like f350 chassis? You would have a bigger cab than the lil cabover and Penske, Ryder, uhaul all use them so there is a bunch of used ones floating around cheap.

    What is the height of the loading dock? Pretty sure most trailers would be too low to work.

    Have you looked for old Penske/Ryder rental trucks?

    I definitely think you need to see all the numbers before jumping on something like that and dropping real $ on a vehicle for it.

    Do you have a cdl? Have you run truck in the past? Whats holding you back from just doing that?
