how do you operate? nomad or leased on.

long ? so my short answer is nomad

 

Leased on to a company I've worked with for about 3 years now as a company driver, office management and now leased on. Great owner, fair compensation on dry van freight running the I-5 corridor.

They pay me 90% of the load and handle all of the relevant deductions associated to operating the truck and I receive a net pay settlement pay every two weeks.

I like doing it this way, because I have no concerns about getting paid, filing all the relevant state and federal forms (except my own personal income taxes) and what not.

I might consider getting my own authority in the future, however, I'm very content doing what I'm doing now, not to mention I'm making a decent living.

 

Leased to LS. Power only for now. Will grab a wagon and numbers once the funds are there.

 

I have 1 truck and 2 trailers I switch off as needed but thinking of selling one , independent and bounce around regionally. All broker freight

 

1 truck 1 reefer own authority 90% haul brokered freight. I have seasonal work and the brokers call me now. Doing very well for myself.

 

Independent, Stretch-Lowboy, I stay west/midwest, central Canada, 75% broker freight.

 

Nomad. Own authority truck and trailer hauling reefer. Mostly broker freight. I have about 5 regulars I haul for 99% of the time. Still use the boards occasionally.

 

Own authority. Flat n step. 75/25 direct broker. Northeast/Philly to Boston/NYC metro

 

I'm a bit different than most. I'm leased on to my father in law currently pulling his trailer but operate as my own company working directly with shippers and getting paid directly from them. My wife handles the billing for our truck and we also handle the ifta and licensing. It works out for us and seeing as we'll most likely be inheriting the trucking company when he passes cause he has no plans of retirement will be 65 next month.

Currently hauling grain but will be hauling steel in the next month or so
