If it's a temporary thing, why hire temporary drivers? Why not work with any of a hundred reputable truckload carriers who will jump through hoops for your freight business assuming it's "good freight". If you have equipment sitting idle then I don't know. Good drivers aren't going to leave a good job for a 3 month gig because it's too difficult to get "re-hired" these days.

Pay 75% of any equipment cost on pick up. 100% on delivery. I have no way to know the equipment needed I will pay 1/4 to learn. I will add 33% more to compensate me for my trouble. Because I operate an 18 wheeler, You classify Me as a Moron. Guess What.

i'm curious as to where this 4000 coast to coast goes. albany to san diego is 2850. seattle to miami is 3250. so if it's a 4000 mile trip. it either includes canada or mexico.

I assumed it was a somewhere in perhaps western New York to west coast or near west coast, and return round trip. I think his biggest problem is going to be to convince "good drivers" he's good for the money so they can perhaps feel comfortable leaving where they are for a maybe, maybe not gig.
To the OP, there are too many variable and unknowns. I suspect this is a somewhat specialized gig requiring perhaps a lot of driver intervention on one or both ends, such as unloading?, setup? long times between loads? or securing their own return loads? ... no thanks
