Ok, so my parents are moving into phase two of the family business. Basically my father secured a huge contract for what was until now a one man operation of a transportation company. It's a multi-million $ contract that's going to require the support and operation of at least four of five people.
We need to get the following:
26 Drivers & Trucks Telecommunications (both in office and for the drivers) GPS tracking (for the drivers/shipments) Insurance Admin assistants Computers
I've got ideas/contacts/resources for most of this stuff. But I need to get the cru's input in these matters as well. Keep in mind, all this has to be set up and ready to go Oct 1st.

As it is a short notice
Item 1 : Dole it out to mom/pops operation. Item 2 : Nextel or Verizon 2-Way until proper telecom is established. Local phone company for office. Item 3 : Portable GPS tracker until you can buy your own trucks and equip them with a more secure one. Item 4 : No clue. Item 5 : No clue but I do know of a couple people who needs a job, relocation might be a problem. Item 6 : Laptops temporarily, desktop in the future.

Another thing too is that these mom/pop drivers need to show proof of insurance and/or bonded if they're to move government goods.

Any updates on the start-up? Are we go for launch, Houston? Signing for the 100k start up today, monday at the latest. Process was slower then what we wanted, but it's a done deal. Now i'll have to scramble to get all this stuff together.
