Thanks for the replys. I guess I should be more specific. What percentage of the gross are you getting? And of what the company takes what does that cover typically? Say you get 70 to 75% what are you responsible for and what does the company cover? I've seen 87% but I'm sure that's having truck and trailer both. Thanks again!

Most other outfits will take 15% you make 85% that's you using your own trailer. Basically they just dispatch youstuckinthemud Thanks this. -
It depends on who you leae too, some companies furnish all insurance, except bobtail, and workmans comp. Base plates ifta, hut . some that just charge 0 to 15 % may just furnish the name on the door, and you find your own freight.
Some will have at least some direct freight, others will just use brokers.
Some will either rent or sell you a trailer, some won't
Some will be a set mileage, while others will be a percentage.
Unless there is a lot of drop and hook involved, I would have a hard time renting a trailer from most carriers.
The percentage or fees they charge, will buy or rent a trailer else a much better deal.77fib77 and stuckinthemud Thank this. -
The reality is that what they give you should be based on what they get.
If you have a company that only produces low rates, then it doesn't matter what they take ... you get a percentage of cheap rates.
Pick a company that produces money.stuckinthemud Thanks this. -
Op. It varies widely. The carrier should cover both liability & cargo insurance. They may or may not cover tags & ifta.
It’s all in the contract that you sign, every company has their own. What you need to do is figure your numbers out (some good leads for that have already been given). Then decide how in depth you want to go with your own back office.
If you are not a paperwork and numbers kind of guy, i suggest finding a company that takes care of everything for you. They will pay the lowest percentage.
If you can pull your own weight in the office, find a company that puts the responsibilities on you.Wespipes Thanks this.
