I know several drivers that have been with Greatwide for years and doing real well there. I know they've been able to upgrade the standard of living for their families, by buying new homes and automobiles.

Well the o mb es I dealt with for about 9 months starved me and I lost money with them .
Now I am with a company that I make 88% and kicking butt . Lesson I learned in 40 plus years if they are part of the ATA and run by bean counters run away faster and faster. -

Unless your dad has been running local all these years. Or was thinking about independent with his own authority. He knows what to do! But my advise is, tell him to start talking to owner operators and leased drivers. Who are leased onto a company. Feel out who runs where he likes, has year round freight, what the pay is etc... At same time pick up recruiting mags from the truck stops (There just inside the door) start making calls and keep notes. Decide who he wants to lease his equipment onto and get to work. He can either manage his money or it will manage him. After that it's sink or swim so come back for advise, tips, or help.
