I feel like this might be a 'fishing for info' question from someone who wants to know if there is any money in owning trucks but not having to do anything other than collect rent payments. Or maybe they were bamboozled by someone else who convinced them to buy their two trucks with the promise of how much money they could make.
Please Help me

I believe there is a thread here of TTR to post your trucks for sale... Might be the best route in the short term... Or maybe is your driver interested in buying them?
Good Luck -
The only thing coming to mind is to find drivers who will rent the trucks from you. They pay you for the use of your property and it is up to them to find work for the trucks in order to pay for the rental.
That is still fraught with problems though. The old adage "no curb too high, no gas too cheap, nothing is faster than a rental car". Those trucks are going to be thrashed to within an inch of their life and handed back to you when they will no longer run. -
Forget it and sell the trucks. Whoever told you that some company will take care of everything for you is completely wrong. You will be required to keep up with quite a bit of the management of those trucks in any situation out there. To be honest, you would be a fool not to be in control of many of those things.
You are definitely in over your head, just get out of it before you drown. Whatever loss you take will be less now than it will be a year from now. Just take the beating and get out.
You can rest assured that anyone who offers to manage those trucks for you and you just collect a profit...there won't be any. First thing that will happen is that any profits are magicly going to find there way into someones bank account besides yours. Second, there isn't enough money in trucking to start splitting it up into multiple places. It ain't there. It just won't happen. -
What are the 2 trucks you have?

good luck, sell the trucks

Just sell the trucks you don't need them anyway. The driver you have will find other employment elsewhere.
