Curious because this can help me in the future as well....why is that? I've heard of O/O's dispatching themselves. So you could please provide more insight?

Your a business, businesses dont keep the doors open by hanging onto other peoples coat-tails and being handheld they instead keep their eyes open for opertunitys to make their own way.
For example im leased to my current company with a truck and trailer i brought in externally (i.e no lease purchase) because they can offer me steady reliable and dependable work. Instead of playing whack a mole with a broker. i instead know that tomorrow ill wake up, have a load and can run and that i will average right around X amount consistantly. Sure i could make a bit more elsewhere or a lot more individually elsewhere but there is no security in the loads or assurance i wont get jipped. With this company they have a proven track record and good loads.
With a broker tomorrow is never assured.TooTiredToTalk Thanks this. -

I started with 30k cash and 35k in available credit cards. Financed a used truck with 14k down and leased a trailer from landstar. And with 65k to start with I felt it was a shoestring budget.
