meet Harbin

I love the brass, but dang, look before ya leap...

1) get on the internet, like the landstar load board, and with atlas in hand start writing down contact info for the brokers.
do an introductory call to some of the agents and follow up with a personal mailing, then call again in a week for verification.

2) should you? should you??? probably. but you can spend more money on a trailer after you have some business. maybe you don't need one? maybe you will??? ask the brokers you will be running for??? are there good paying power only loads?

I'm not experienced... just saying logically... your in business now... so do what needs to be done to make it a profitable one.

 

If you have your own authority you HAVE to have your own trailer. You won't be leased to some company that will let you pull theres. If you lease to a company your authority will get put on inactive

 

Good luck Harbin. I do know there are some power only gigs out there. I talked with a guy the other day who had his own authority and was pulling Schneider wagons. He didn't own a trailor.

 

Read the thread right below that says "here we go...finally O/O" lots of in there...

 

ya, .... C.Y.A. !!

especiallt with your own authority. establish your LLC in one of the states with good corperate protections. Like Nevada.

Fallow the rules when it comes to your business accounts. Don't use it like a personal account. You draw a check, once you start bluring the lines between your LLC and your person you open yourself up to lawsuits that can impact your personal not just your LLC

Read the thread called "so you want to own your own business" it's stickied at the top of this forum
