To start a new business in Michigan right now you are either and idiot or a savvy old fart .

I have survived the 1st year with the new Apollo Transpost company , hell i think i even made some money .

Given that i must not be an idiot :flip:

Number of times i dealt with the Motor carrier this summer ? NONE , They sat on my bumper a couple of times but never stopped me . I know there running my plate when there that close behind me .

The other trucks seem to think i know some one seems im never stopped :hehe:

Truck did excellent , one blow out on a tire zero break downs .

Now i will wash it up , stick a greese gun here and there and put it to bed for the winter :thumbsup:

Bravo & Congratulaions. I think the statistics is that most businesses fail within the first 6 years...so you have 5 to go!!

course I took about 15 years ago said the first 7 years will make or break a new company. I say it has to do more with the people running it then anything. once the area your working in gives you good recomadations so you can grow.
