This is interesting, as there have been times in my life I've thought about doing this. 1) Is it hard to get into the business and what does it take? 2) Do you make decent money?

well i quit my job as a taxi driver and really needed an employment, i was sitting on my deck one day and saw a schwans truck drive buy that said, "now hiring" so i called the number and we arranged a interview. two weeks later i was required to get my C-class license for driving the trucks! i Am not comfortable putting my wage online but i can say it definatley gets me through bills and taxes!
