Questions you wouldn't think to ask

Ok, been seeing some great information posted here. But I'm finding to get information you need you have to know what questions to ask. For instance here in a broker thread I saw factoring mentioned but have no idea what it is and since I hadn't heard of it before I couldn't ask the question before.

So, what other information would someone starting out as an owner op need that they wouldn't know to ask? I know this is a relative question based on an individuals knowledge of the industry. Let me say what didn't you know to ask about when you first started trucking that you learned after becoming an owner op? Not looking for anything specific, throw anything out there. Maybe a general information thread on items most o/o's take for granted. Have fun with this guys and thanks for all the great info in my other threads.

 

Nice. Actually as a company driver oregon is one of the states I do know of. If I ever get a load through there I have to call permits to get one, I think NH requires a permit as well.
