    Hello. Once again I need your help. Now I work as a truck driver in the company. A friend suggested to go to another company where he works, where you can rent a truck on the following terms: $ 700 per week for the rental truck, 18% of the cost of shipping, $ 0.10 per mile, $ 2,500 deposit. Trucks provide used and new at the same conditions. I'm new at this, so really looking forward to tips. Is this normal conditions for rental truck and work with them? Is there still such company where you can rent a truck and working it? What may be nuances in the work on a rented truck?

    for example the company gives goods worth $ 6000 of which 18% is $ 1080, I give the company that gave me the rental truck and the cargo

    somebody help me find a truck rental company where I could work. Maybe somebody will help Council to begin searching for and what to look for in the first place? Prior to buying own truck but still far from what I know to rent a truck, can earn more than a driver working in the company. I may be mistaken. I'll be glad to answer any on the subject. thank you

    1. Do you have a CDL? One with YOUR name and picture on it?

    2. Do you have any "experience"?

    3. Whats your timeline looking like?

    There are folks here that can and will dispatch loads for you under YOUR authority if you get it, and they'll do it for a lot less than 18%.

    Of course I have a CDL.
    experience in this industry 7 months.
    I am currently working as a driver in the company. but I suppose that taking the company to lease a truck can more money. that's I trying to understand how to do it, in which company to go and on what terms.
