    Thanks, yeah I'm thinking about going all the way also (my authority) but a little scared about finding my own freight. I read don't use brokers or you will go broke.

    Try Carolina Logistics.
    Try Craigslist and look for some of those Russian outfits in Chicago.
    @Puje may know some outfit that will put you to work.

    All these "I heard" is bad for you.

    How much was QC taking out of your load gross. This time, you dont have to share. It's all yours.

    I know you are old school, but if QC is taking 15% then you've given them $150 for each $1000 you generated.... That's $15K out of your projected $100K annual gross.

    ...and that's just food for thought. marinate on that, my friend.

    38%????

    Thats $38,000 for every $100,000

    Even if you pay $20K insurance, you are left with 18K

    in 5 yrs thats $90,000 = nothing to sneeze at your age.
