I am the CFO of a company that has been in Logistics brokering, AND owns a small fleet of trucks, employing drivers. Our trucks are used for dedicated local routes, and the drivers go home everyday, and all but one route allows our drivers to go home on weekends.
It is my opinion that we would be much better off farming these routes out to Owner Operators.
SO My Question is this: What would I have to offer a owner operator to accept a dedicated local route, what perks would you want to see, I have already listed nights and weekends off, but what else would appeal to a O/O enough to enter into a contracted full time route.
(consider that a lot of these routes are low mileage, local so we would have to pay per route not per mile. but that would also be less maintenance, fuel etc on you truck)
Thanks so much for your opinions
Kathy
