4 day on 4 day off, 1 truck, 4 invested drivers

You gonna have better luck making things work if you share all four wifes together

 

Don't worry about doing any maintenance ...

 

start the business yourself . finance the truck, hire the 3 other guys as your employees. put them on the shift of your desire.. still probably wont work.. but atleast there wont be as many arguments about money and ownership and who the boss is.

 

Nah, wouldn’t suggest. Ownership is ONE. Arguments are TWO OR MORE

 

What I've learned it that having a truck run 24 hours a day does nothing but kill it.

I will never do it again, I'm actually buying 2 more trucks for nightshifts and keep my current 2 for day shift.

 

The only ship that won't sail is a partnership!

 

Might be possible, but very difficult I'd imagine. Four owners, one truck? So what if Owner A wants lots of chicken lights and chrome, but Owner C wants a bare bones Freightliner Cascadia? Or the engine needs a rebuild and Owner B and C wants a cheap aftermarket, shadetree mechanic to do it, but owner A and D wanna go to Detroit and have it done with genuine parts and factory trained techs?

Someone said you'd be better off sharing wives. I think I agree.

 

Or what if one of the drivers puts a New England Patriots decal on it? I sure as hell wouldn't drive it!

 

Four guys owning one truck? What happens when it goes in for scheduled maintenance and one driver, or two, miss their shift because of it? Does the driver whose shift was cancelled for shop time get paid? If so what will the other drivers say about him sitting home on full wages.? Will there be someone else at the carrier to cover your loads?
As to the money...tanker rates in my area are pretty good but I don't see where they'd be good enough to support four drivers one one truck.
Our fuel tankers have always run 24/7 because the contract specifies it. And yes, they wear out fast on 24/7 but the revenue will make up for it. There can't be any slack in the schedule and both day and night driver have to keep a good pace. You already know that.
Finally, if your company is doing well with the company trucks, why are they going O/O ? The answer to that is money...you just need to find out why. They aren't going O/O out of the kindness of their heart.
