    Are you going to lease a truck from them or lease on your truck? Big difference in the lease world!

    Admiral is 100% O/O. You have to have your equipment first before you go to them.... They don't do the fleece game.

    Agent based like many carriers that use O/O's that want independance. If you book a load with an outside carrier/broker unlike many of the other agent based carriers you book it through head office and don't give up the 7% comission.

    I don't think you understand how their system works so I doubt it would be a good fit for you.

    They are agent based (no dispatcher) so YOU have to call various agents/carriers/brokers and secure your loads based on that.
