Another way would be to do a load out. You’re friend could make another $2-$4k maybe, and give the Customer a discount, on moving the empty Trailer. That’s a common practice with empty Trailer delivery Companies like Trailer Transit. The O/O should make as much as a Loaded rd trip. Regardless. $3000 Load plus $5000 Trailer delivery. Win win. Add a power only Load to anywhere. Then BT home. That would be even better.
Edjahman and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
Bobtail insurance is probably the most misunderstood thing in trucking. I have my own numbers my policy covers me loaded or empty. With or without my wagon.
Bobtail insurance is a seperate policy for guys who lease on to a carrier. The carriers insurance only covers them when under dispatch. So the bobtail policy is for when the guy is headed home or drops a trailer to go to Walmart etc. it actually has dick to do with being bobtail. In this instance since the trip is haul a trailer up and bobtail back that would technically be under dispatch. Although he has his own numbers/insurance that’s a mute pointstaceydude, blairandgretchen, Hayfieldmn and 6 others Thank this. -

That's why I was asking for him.
I also am completely independent with my own equipment and I run Interstate.
I've been trucking since 1990 so I'm well aware of compliance. Don't even get me started. I just asked a simple question for a friend and I didnt have an answer for him so I thought I'd ask the forums because I respect you guys here.
Take careProfessionalNoticer, blairandgretchen, jsnell and 1 other person Thank this. -
