From Company driver to L/P

What we figure once we move over I will be not taking anything under $2 to start, preferably $2.5 and over. This whole thing has always been to get on his own and run the truck his way, with no one telling him when to fix or where to run. Do to type of truck CA is out and Northeast past PA is out. Which is no loss what's so ever.

Our other problem now is dispatcher that are not planning ahead. When we started his first dispatcher was really great. I learned alot from her. She planned the week in advance in one day almost. So before we were half way to first load we had next load and if third load back to warehouse. Now we just heard dispatchers are not allowed to do that anymore at least over in fleet. But we run warehouse and it looks the same. When we move that will stop as I will be dispatching. But again heavy running will not be happening for long only planning on till fall then slacking off for winter first year. Then things go the way it should be on picking smart and running less but still making what we need to pay all costs and have time at home without killing us money wise.

As it has been said all a means to that end. I have been reading and researching since we started this. Making sure who we would move to and how to run things on our own. I have been all over the various sections of TR and reading threads and making notes. Besides talking with OO in person running solo or with other company. Remember I have run two very successful businesses in two very different fields. All because I researched and planned them just like now.

 

This all miles with fsc not added. But it's Company rate for leased to purchase. Their company drivers rate is ,,.45 cents a mile. There have been many that have bought their trucks threw them. Not easy but for us a good learning experience of what it's like out side of drop and hook only.
