...not sure yet if I was a little quick but I just couldn`t go back to that place anymore.

Just waiting on paper work and I can begin, my new job as my own boss.

Yeah I`m still working under a Freight Broker as an Agent but it will be in my office/home. and I decide how to run things.

I`m very excited and just as much frightened.

"just keep swimming!"

Success and failure is just a part of life. And I know we all hate failure, but you don`t even have the opportunity to succeed unless you step off the safe ground of "working for the man". It`s a tough call, but I have to say, going with your gut... your desires... can never be wrong when discussing the topic of self employment.

Good Luck. It`s a twisted way to live... but exciting!

That`s wonderful curi!!!  CONGRATS!!!    That`s a tough business and it can wear you down.  I worked for an NVO for 9 years so I know.. that industry is brutal!  I worked for a great company with great people and it was still gut wrenching at times.  (Not that owning your own business is any LESS gut wrenching, but at least it`s YOUR company you are getting ulcers over)
