    So I've been an owner op for 5 years. I sold my truck last year and got in real estate hated it!
    so now I am back. Researched lots of the "GOOD" companies and to my amazement almost no one knew there numbers. I asked about turnover rates answer O we have one of the best in the industry. Me ok what is it, answer Not sure. This was a recurring thyme With some of what was supposed to be the best companies out there. I wanted to lease to a good responsible honest outfit, seems like those are harder to find now. Anyone know a van operation southeast that may be worth looking at? Thanks in advance.

    Are you going company side or buying a truck then leasing it on? Still got your authority if you had it to begin with?

    I need to ask since no one else has, after 5 years as an O/O, why did you sell your truck and get out of the business, and what did you see in real estate besides making more money ?
