1 carrier or a bunch of carriers at the same time ?

I don't have a good answer but I would say don't try to move them all at one time.

You're already having trouble getting drivers. Expect to lose some if you force a big change on them.

 

Western Fleet. You stated having problems getting drivers but never responded to my pm??

 

What's more stressful, having trucks at 5-6 carriers or all 25 out of work at one carrier? And why?

Don't know your business, but I would think the latter, not the former. If it is the stress of dealing with multiple carriers, is it because you don't have a good system in place?

 

From what I know aren't the larger carriers that you are leased on with limiting the number of trucks - why not run on your own plates? Start with the four you have nowhere to take....just sayin' '....eggs all in one basket..' not a good business plan - everyone is all about diversifying now - another option is to sell and get the semis and get in on the amazon delivery business - I hear that is very lucrative

 

Jeramand is out of New Brunswick and TST is out of Nova Scotia. I find it hard to deal with any company is this day in age who doesn’t have a website. At least I couldn’t find anything but a FB page that I couldn’t access. I drove out of Dartmouth & Halifax doing OTR for a while and liked it.

 

If it is the last mile delivery forget it. In Canada the franchise is for many trucks and the job is like Uber.

 

You need to register your business with Amazon and then they call you if they like the profile - Amazon Logistics
They provide all the logistics you provide and run the drivers - you get a region. I have seen many people get out of trucking and into last mile delivery - it will only grow due to the pandemic and online ordering

 

It is the next thing - growing fast due to the pandemic.... and drivers don't need special training so not a bad gig
