Come on there were no assets . Don’s just Bill in disguise . If you’re an employee why not use your real name ?
6wheeler Thanks this. -
I never got the ‘ almost like your own authority’ concept . If you have your own power unit and they have no customers can’t you rent a trailer and get your authority through DATS? I know Bill was working on a deal with Werner and some of their customers . That kinda made sense. Seems like you’re just giving money away
p608 Thanks this. -
For the self dispatch side, of course you could get your own authority, but most do not have the cash flow to float the business. They get that with us. It also keeps your options open. If you get your own numbers that's insurance you have to pay for 12 months. With the way our program is structured, you only pay when you run. It really allows you to focus on learning to book freight and build your own customer base. It is our hope that while working with us we prove to be a valuable asset and that you forego going out on your own.interpreter Thanks this. -

Yea I saw that too. -
I have a few questions as I run the numbers for F2F. On the surface it seems like a pretty good compared to having my own authority because insurance alone can be well over 12,000-15,000/ yr, so $35/mo and 5% of truck value offsets some cost. But it says if I run F2F plates its $52/wk or $2700 per year, since my own plates in FL are right around that price thats basically a break even if I were on my own...
Its the trailer fee that has me rethinking this... $235/ week is $12,220 a year..
Am I purchasing the trailer by paying that or is that a trailer rental?
If I am not owning the trailer then basically that cost would about equal the cost of getting my own insurance which makes the 80% less attractive. I am trying to figure out where giving up 20% of the revenue is worth it -
