    Just read their website. Trucks seem affordable but not sure if it's a good idea.

    1. Sells you the truck
    2. Forced Dispatch

    You get 85% of the revenue, but what's the average linehaul? Especially out of PA? They could stick you on a load of super cheap that you can't do anything about. They can do that to you often enough so all you're doing is giving them 15% profit on freight plus helping to pay off tractors.
