    You can leave any time you but you must give notice and most non compete claus! In other words you agree not to sign their direct competitors for a length of time!

    I've walked away from several houses over the years! All had non compete clauses in contract! Thats why research is key!

    Always check with at least 6 contractors try to get quartly earnings statement fkr type of freight and lanes you whish to run! If they won't provide info then move on find someone who will! Personal bad nightmare with brokerage house!

    In your first post you said you had some money stashed. Several post down you state LS would be a better fit for you however, you don't want to wait maybe two weeks for orientation. Being me and if I was looking to go to LS over Mercer I would do what I needed to do to get into LS. It sound like you are looking to make the big buck fast. Don't know what your overhead is like but if you don't have the money to sit for two weeks due to a break down or switching companies, you may be in more trouble then you know.

    I will totally agree with that! That and the wrong fit as owner operator will break you! Unless you have deep pockets!
