Jack cant think of hes last name but hes from jersey Never was on hes board but all I heard was good

 

I'm going to say first, this is a really bad plan. You'll have a lease payment that is through the roof, and a driver rating that is about as low as you can get. That means your access to freight for some time will be the lower-paying loads. You have a post in the 20-thread asking for advice on routes... that's part of the reason that this is a bad plan- you don't even have minimal experience running reefer freight. Your chosen route is about as expensive as it gets. I really hope you have a pile of cash in the bank... two months worth of bills, and at least $2000 to $3000 worth of operating capital. If you don't go work on the company side until you do, and learn your chosen profession before you jump in the deep end with the sharks.

Stay away from Chance. BTW... jumping straight from TnT, you most likely won't have a choice of an FM.

 

Oh IP, why do you try, they don't listen, they have it all figured out, you know that, like you said, he had to post about a route, he has a crappy driver rating simply because he has no experience, so his loads are going to be crap. He has to come on here asking about good FM's, when he does not know that FM's are assigned straight out of TNT, you generally do not get to pick your FM. We know what is going to happen, there is a 80% chance he will fail and of course it will all be Primes fault.
He has been fed the line that he can make a boat load of money running his truck and he believes simply because he has business experience he knows all about running a trucking business. Yet he does not know anything about it, you know it, I know it.
All I say is good luck buddy, your going to need it, and don't blame us or Prime when.if you fail at it. And we all know if you fail you will not admit it on here.

 

ask for jack, he'll keep you busy... you like to run team, right......

 

Wow.. I was taught in business class that it is highly advisable and wise to talk to and get advice from those with more experince in the industry you are getting into...

I get that you have crunched and worked the numbers and are salivating and chomping at the bit to make big bucks.. butt everything looks better on paper... it is when you add reality to it that you get a truer picture...

They gain nothing by you heeding or not heeding their advise from the knowledge and information they have aquired over the years... they also lose nothing... you are the one with everything to lose... or gain.. or break even for that matter. ?
