I live in Houston, TX and I plan on purchasing a delivery cargo van or box truck. My goal is to deliver medium sized goods to commercial businesses and work as an independent contractor. My quesion is whether or not you or someone you may know does this for a living. If so, do you make good money and is it profitable? Additionally, I am aware of the fuel costs, insurance costs, etc associated with this business.
Im in the same situation I also live in Houston Tx and also starting my own hot shot service. It is very profitable if you get the right jobs that will keep you busy and you keep them happy. I know from other people in the business that make very good money also. Hope everything works out great and dont give up! JetEx Logistics is available for you 24/7! The transportation business never rests and JetEx Logistics is ready and available to handle your requests when you need them.

I had a company in the courier business. I suggest you start as an employer in a courier service first and then start for yourself as a subcontractor for this specific company. In this way you have your first customer and you can buildout you relationship database from there. Hope this helps

The fuel prices have really killed the stocks of the big companies like UPS so it definitely has to be a consideration.
