Taking the leap...

I knew a couple brokers from a previous 3-week stint prior to getting my own Authority. I use them, but to be honest, they're a very small part of my loads. I get my loads from the MembersEdge loadboard, same as TruckersEdge but a few bucks a month cheaper through OOIDA. Prior to this loadboard I used Internet Truckstop. I've developed relationships with a few brokers I met off these boards and that's really helped things quite a bit.

 

How r ya doc, also gears, just wondering how everything is going for you guys, I was really enjoying this thread lol. How about u doc? Everything with the authority, etc... going good so far?

 

Hey Scuba... Things are OK. Had the truck in the shop to have the starter replaced and other minor issues checked out. Looking for a regional load today, probably heading South come Monday. Hope all's well with you and yours!

 

Sorry to read of your FIL. Tough situation no matter how you slice it. Good luck with your financing quest. It's a toughy as well. Wish I could help too.

 

Dr. D,

Sorry to hear about your FIL. Hope everything goes well. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear about your wifes dad doc, my mom is actually going through breast cancer right now so I know how bad it feels when a loved one is not doing to well, on the other end of things, hope you get the financing you need, me and a buddy are actually starting out together teaming so we can keep some costs down a bit by splitting everything 50/50 until the business is off the ground and then we can decide on were to go from there, seperate and do our own thing or keep working together. I filled out the authority request online thorugh the fmsca so atleast the ball is rolling lol. Once again doc hope all goes well for you and keep us posted.

 

How are ya gears, I actually just filled out the request for the authority through the fmsca website, so its underway, very nervous and excited at the same time. Would you recommend joining the ooida, such as yourself if I remeber correctly?
