With the vans the drivers don't have to keep logs so they aren't DOT regulated and can drive as many miles in a day that they can handle. I usually spend my time in the office on the load boards booking runs for my drivers, but finding good expedite drivers is a bitch so more often than not I end up on the road myself. I can't begin to tell you how much I love it though. I made my living off porn for the majority of my adult life, but it's refreshing to know that I can succeed in something else.

It's funny, but in the last few years I fell in love with some towns that I never would have bothered visiting before. There are parts of Alabama that I love, and I never would have step foot in them if not for my expedite business. The same with Texas, there is so much freight going through the border towns that Texas is like my second home, but I love El Paso, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, etc...
I really envy you in how you see the nation. I love to dream about towns cause I havent really traveled much.

Remember the show City Confidential when they start it would have this little flavor of the city or town and it was so relaxing. Traveling is very relaxing in theory. In reality with all the trafffic now days prob not as much.

But congratz you are a real businessman. That is real big business and you got to see some stuff. Worse thing is to be in a factory putting the nut on the bolt for 30 years. Im prob not much better than a "nutfitter" except I dont have a boss which is a biggee.
