    I have 3 years college education in Business Administration, and your exactly 2-3 years ahead of where I want to be with experience and ready to O/O.
    Congratulations.
    The worst part is if we started a broker/trucking business since we would just be starting out people would call us bottom feeders:(

    um no :biggrin_25513:

    Bottom feeders are companys that cut rates to get the freight, sometimes even takening a loss just to keep other companies from getting it. And they also hire new drivers and pay them pennies....


    O/O's have the power to tell brokers to shuv it if the rate is too low...

    Your gonna love this...I moved to Texas to start my trucking career with the knowledge that in Texas we pay 0% State Income Tax. That is a huge financial advantage for anyone competing with those bottom feeding companies.

    Maybe we should take the business conversation private...

    O/O's dont compete with big companies because you cant, they compete with other O/O's.
