I Own and Operate "All In One Logistics LLC"
I have several irons in the fire at all times, first I provide Wholesale sales and hauling services for seasonal Farm Goods using 1 Ton trucks instead of big trucks to keep my overhead down.
I also operate an online business providing free diesel performance information and sources for the average enthusiast and in the near future I will provide parts as well, but it is still a new venture so I am still learning with that one.
I am also working right now on opening a Bath and Body Works store for the wife, but that one will take a little more time because she just wants to run it, I am doing everything else to get it opened....

my biz

We can't keep up, can't get enough help, but I do get to have a fleet of vehicles, which is right up my alley. Oh.. and the perks of being the boss ain't so bad either.

I'm a painting contractor, Valaris Painting out of San Francisco. I've had a contract with Bank of America for the last year, painting BofA's where they are putting on new signs. Its made me enough money to buy my truck with one payment. I love being my own boss and you will always find me working with my crew whenever i can. I also do int/ext residential work and will gladly hook up any member with a great price. lic&ins

I'm not, that's what I do. I do have a guy that was a mechanic for years, he does all my oil changes and what not.
