    I wouldn't do flatbed as an O/O without at least one year OTR experience in flatbed. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches learning what shippers aren't worth showing up to on the company dime.

    I second you on that. THE CONTRACT with which company #1 thing to get at hand. The truck purchase is subject to what kind of fr8 you're going to haul.

    Personally, I think you should sit where your at if your making a fairly decent check, do you have benefits? Being a O/O is fine, I've deem there, but it comes with a few headaches, just my opinion, just to add, getting a million dollar policy will be hard
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    Yeah I missed he said $8000 for tired, that's quite the jump from about 4years ago, when I paid less than $4000 for a set of drives
