Thanks for the help. Obviously I'm a new driver, but I can't believe the taxes and paper work that the trucking industry has to go through. I'm ok with the truck up keep standards, but the rest sounds like we are living in Mexico and paying the cartel off to keep in business. Freedom is becoming more expensive every year. Be safe out there and thanks so much.

I know it looks like a lot but unfortunately this is just the beginning. After this come the broker packets (if they are even willing to set up with you as a new carrier), adding said brokers as certificate holders for insurance, factoring (if you need), setting up for quick pay (if you need), fuel cards, checking brokers for their credit, dealing with shortages/ damaged product, log book rules and regulations (a huge mess), getting paid after you do a load, getting NOT paid after you do a load.... It just keeps on going

Uhm.... guys....
There is one other very important question that you forgot to ask...
Does he even have a CDL license to be driving a big rig in the first place,
or did he just go out and buy a truck and decide to become a truck driver? -
Pretty sure the latter, based on the responses provided herein.

That's kind of what I was thinking too
