Starting up business..need help on questions

I'm really talking about the little guys specifically I honestly dont even acknowledge the existence of megas anymore

 

As a former fleet owner; trucks are the least of the problems.

 

Yeah, I was fully relating to what you said just like any other trucker who's been doing this long enough and has some skin in the game

 

We get these same type of "hey I want to buy a truck and haul freight" at least 50 times a week. Let's ignore the simple fact that you chose to do no research of your own and expected others to just give you all the answers and focus on something more important.

You want to start a business that competes with myself, and many others on this forum. And you want us to help you get it started!? Would you walk into pizza hut and tell the owner you want to open a new pizza store next door to him and expect him ti help you get it started? This is what you are doing right now.

 

Well yeah, duh. While you’re at it can I get your preference on lanes, rates, and a couple of your customers to help me out

 

So hello everyone new to this site and preparing to buy my first truck and want to lease to a reputable company, I have a busy schedule now and wanted to start leasing, a company that book loads hire drivers and so forth any advice or direction would be appreciated thanks in advance.

 

Wait ... a company that hired drivers?

You're not going to drive the truck?

 

Let's see, buy truck, lease it it a company, let the company do all the work, and watch the millions of dollars flood into my bank account.
Is that the way trucking works????

 

Fixed it for you

 

I’ve got a better idea look around find a small trucking company that’s making money ,the owners is getting older he wants to get out he’s pulled all his hair out by now he can’t find a decent driver and buy his company.
Then offer him an ungodly amount of money to stick around for another year or so and teach you the ropes until you get your feet wet!
