Assigned for what?

Sounds like the cart before the horse. He has the means to deliver Fed Ex Freight, but not the authorization. Makes me wonder what kind of small business plan he is working off of? Assuming he has a plan. I wonder what kind of projections for income versus costs? Business taxes, personal taxes (16% of every dollar in wages for social security alone), state income tax, county tax, license fees for the truck, business insurance, medical coverage for an owner operator. And 2 to 4 months operating expense funds set aside to run his start up business. Does he service his equipment himself? Or send it out. I wish him luck. He is going to need a plan showing possible income versus expense before he can get a loan from a bank. And trust me, he will need a bank loan. Now or down the road, all businessman need to rely on the ability to borrow money to grow or survive. And buying the truck before having a source to pay for it is well, like buying a water pump before knowing what car to install it on. Brian I really hope you make it. Do your home work before the test. It will make a difference.Von.
