    They did say they have a lot of freight and you can run under their authority or your own. As for confirming what the loads pay, same as you do leasing on. You get the confirmations from the brokers.

    Hmmm........Ok,Let me see if I get this right,

    You can work for these folks under your own authority or theirs, They Show you the confirmation from brokers and then they take 10% from that?

    So,If im understanding this correctly.....This Company is finding freight for you and keeping 10% of revenue which is already Cut 10-30% from a broker....

    Not Good. Heck, Call me, I'll get you Broker Freight all day and not charge you a Dime

    I should say some is broker and some direct shipper. I think mostly direct shipper. I'd have to confirm this tho.

    I'll tell you the biggest obstacle I'm running into running under my own authority is finding a place that will lease a trailer to a new company.

    I dont think youre reading me correctly. i said straight out i dont like paper work , etc. no vibe about it.

    and this post is about a company who is coercing drivers into going paperless by threatening them with high costs of buying one if they dont 'volunteer'..
