Hey all,

I`m slogging through my first business plan, and this is far more of a pain in the you-know-what than I anticipated. I mean, I knew it would require a lot of research, but I`m averaging about one paragraph per day because I spend HOURS UPON HOURS tracking down reliable numbers. I suppose it`s all their on Census.gov and related sites, but I want to know if anyone has a favorite source that cuts through all the layers of garbage. Specifically, I`m looking for truck rental industry stats. I`m also looking for information on moving trends, i.e. how many people are moving, why, etc.

But any good source would be helpful. Thanks!
Chris
