Experienced driver going O/O

It’s not what I currently haul. I just noticed there are lots of maxi loads on the boards that pay more. After investigation though I see there’s a bit more bureaucratic BS you have to go through to do it. That on top of getting pulled in at every scale made me decide to go back to a regular flatbed.

Next question: flatbed or stepdeck? Flatbed has been my main focus all along, but I better ask before buying.

 

I’d like to ask an opinion on a name for the company. I wanted to use my last name, but that’s already the name of another large construction company in my town. Don’t want customers to get confused with the two. Wanted to use my nickname and call it “Gump’s”, but it may not sound as professional. We are leaning toward “Stell Transport” or “Stell Trucking”. I prefer ‘transport’ over trucking in the name, but when you hear that does it sound more passenger transportation versus commodities?
