I was, then started talking to drivers and got a feel for what o/o's want then offered it and they've started to roll in. I'm just 100% honest and completely transparent and so far it seems to be working.

Leased drivers are on my cargo and auto liability(which I pay for) Which is all you need for your authority. My truck is still on there. I offer my leased o/o physical and collision for their trucks and trailers or they can get their own. But they pay for thatLast edited: Oct 15, 2021
Vampire, Blue jeans, Brettj3876 and 5 others Thank this. -
We do something similar. I don't lease on guys because I'm protecting my authority. I'm scared of one guy screwing it up for everyone else. So we provide dispatching and compliance for a very fair price. Just like you though, being a driver, I just listened to what other drivers wanted.Vampire, Geronimo17, Brettj3876 and 3 others Thank this.

just messing with ya. Salesman still won’t tell me anything about ordering my new one....Vampire and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
Man, that’s food for thought! If they hadn’t cancelled my March orders then I may have considered it. Probably not but possibly. I definitely would have sold the one from the clutch thread though but I better keep it now.

Put it for sale and say in the description something like:"Great truck! Maintained by local Kenworth dealership. Needs nothing, but new clutch. Only selling, because can't find a driver"Blue jeans, Tropsnart, autopaint and 7 others Thank this.
