JAMES PANDELIOS TRIBUTE TRANSPORT Whitesville, WV 42 Posts, 180 +, 15 -	JAMES PANDELIOS TRIBUTE TRANSPORT - Whitesville, WV I've been out of my truck since September 2016 due to cancer surgery. This September will make me one year cancer free. Since then I put together a retirement and have been struggling to make ends meet, but thank God he made a way and I give God all credit. I want to go back but I'm alittle nervous about it due to the rain and the costs to run and now elds. I was wondering if things have changed for the better or worse, please be professional, I would like an insiders opinion. I just turned 61 and I still feel I have a few good years left. God bless you all and thanks. Please be safe.

WILLIAM JEWELL S&B LOGISTICS INC Crescent, OK 23 Posts, 3 +, 0 -	WILLIAM JEWELL S&B LOGISTICS INC - Crescent, OK You sound like a praying man. Spend a lot of time in prayer with the one who knows what he has in store for you. If God gives you his blessing then he'll provide a way for you to get back on the road. As for doing it on your own, If you have your own trailer and authority. I say do it.. That's the way I run my operation. It took me a little bit to get hooked up with several companies in my area. That gave me several resources to get loads from. The greatest benefit I've found is that if a load is just too cheap, I don't have to take it. When I used a dispatch service, I felt obligated to take what ever they threw at me. Those days are behind me. Good luck to you sir, God bless you.
