I know for me, I'm planning on needing $100,000 to include the purchase of the truck, plates, authority, insurance, etc. including having a few...
That's weird. When I was working for an owner-op, he used Fleet One and they let you fuel at Pilot's everywhere. Their website now says you can...
The customer ships from both ends, so that's helpful. They don't go terribly far, mostly in the midwest and as far south as Atlanta. I figure if...
Yeah, I was thinking about them or T-Chek because both pretty much let you fuel anywhere. Thanks...
No offense, but I've got 5 years in as a company slave. I think I've done my time, bro. I'm not doing anything with brokers, although I have...
Who does everyone recommend as the best company to get a fuel card from?
$1.60 is okay, but I'd still ask for $2 out of the gate. Their counter-offer shouldn't be much less than the original $1.60 and you'll at least...
I certainly see nothing wrong with asking for $2/mile. If they're as desperate as they're saying, they'll pay or move it themselves and see how...
Thanks...Kelmar Safety puts truckers in a consortium. They only charge when you actually take the test, $26 for lab + whatever the clinic charges...
Hmm...for some reason I was under the assumption that KS was a state like Kentucky and Oregon where you have to file separately. Looking at...
Ok. I only briefly looked over it and saw the part where it was talking about diesel fuel, so thought it might be one I'd have to file.
Yet another question. I got my EIN last night. Will I be required to fill out Form 720 for the IRS quarterly or is the Heavy Highway Use Tax form...
Yeah, I haven't bought a truck/trailer yet. I want to wait until I get all my ducks in a row and have all the money to do it all at once so I'm...
Cool. I'm trying to make this a "family business". My wife will be doing all the accounting and my brother-in-law will be my mechanic. I'll...
Thanks for all your answers. How does a driver who doesn't have employees implement a Alcohol & Drug Testing Program? As for the establishing of...
Is DOTauthority.com a good way to get authority or should I just do it myself?
Yeah, I'm shooting for at least $15k as a backup...
I'm seriously considering going O/O and have spent a lot of time gathering all the valuable wisdom and experiences from everyone here. I figured...
Who do you work for?
I'm not driving anywhere at the moment, either. I do part time team driving with my best friend when he does long jobs but that's once a week at...
