Double Yellow's Company Driver to Independent Thread

They don't run with your name, they change it. Customers only go by your MC number to see how long you've been in business.

 

Yesterday there were at least two ads in the classified section here that want to buy Authority or a company.

 

It's always people thinking they're going to shortcut a way to riches. Trucking attracts a lot of those. A fool and his money are soon parted.

 

What was your name on 2p2?

 

@wichris @Woobie The whole point is that if you own the shop, you keep the profit the shop makes rather than sending that money to another person or business. This is called vertical integration, and it is done all day every day in every industry. You’re right that it might not make sense if you were only trying to service a few of your own trucks. That’s why it would be a good idea to open up shop to the public. Of course, that’s another core competency in another business line requiring investment and management. For some businesses it makes sense to integrate, for others it doesn’t.

 

That reminded me of this

 

For some reason ttr disables the pm ability of brokers. They probably had a few bad ones soliciting trucks.

 

I was just curious. I know your job before trucking was poker. Being you were a trucking forum poster I was guessing you were on 2p2. I was wondering if I knew you. You get no credit for guessing my name on 2p2.
