What rate to propose?

$1.86 on 107,000 miles i wouldn’t show up at all anyday; #### the hand holding.

 

I hope you don't loose the contract. But if someone came in and under bid your company, you would loose the contract. All companies care about is the bottom line, money it happens all the time.

 

What will you do when somebody comes and underbids ur company and secures the contract. Whats ur plan then ? You would be better off getting own authority and going and undercutting ur former company to secure the contract urself.

 

I suggest talking to a bank about buying a truck before you talk to your boss. It’s probably a good idea to have as much lined up as you can so you know you definitely could do it if he agrees.

As far as if you should or not that’s a tough call. There’s been many businesses succeed that probably all of us on here would think would fail and other businesses fail that should work. It’s finally your choice. We are blessed to live in a country where we are free to make those choices. Best of luck whatever you decide!!!

 

In that situation I would probably approach the owner of the trucking company you work for and tell him your interest. He will let you know right away if he is even interested. I would not approach him with a number! I garrantee your to low.

Be prepared to lose your job once you broach this subject. Because then you potentially become a threat to him?

So keep the conversation light and if he’s interested try and get his thoughts on a number? Your going to shoot yourselves in the foot tossing out the numbers you are talking about.
