A good opportunity for the right o/o?

At first glance you are the type of driver i want. But our insurance won't touch you with so little experience. Imo the best thing you can do is keep your nose clean and once you hit two years doors will open.

 

Have a really nice nest egg around 20k if you have never driven if you know the business 10k. But sounds like you are just starting.

 

you may want to consider this as an option.

One option may be the Schnieder choice program. Here you will book your own freight.
Before people get all up in the cool aid, I do know personally people who are in this program and do very well with it. Make good revenue and have a solid take to the bank. Like anything else, it is what you make of it.

with a good business background, it could be a good intro to owning a truck.

 

I thought there was a waiting list time for choice

 

It seems they have opened the gates agian.
one thing I do know, they are only taking lease plan people. they stopped the bring your truck like 6 or so months ago.

Heres my take on the wait list, they only want to do lease operators for now, they did not have enough trucks to put into service.

The lease trucks have a pretty good spec and reasonable lease rate. The Freightliners are the only ones you can do a short term on, the petes, kw and volvos are all long term.
so it gives you a chance to test it out, get you toe in and see if it is for you.

All this is via the peoplethat i know that run on the program.
It seems to be a real close match to Landstar's program.

 

Landstar doesnt lease tractors.

 

You may be genuine but what I noticed immediately is this:
You want access to my little black book with all the contacts and all the numbers. That will not come quickly or easily to anyone.

 

That's a very good point.

 

True, at landstar they don't lease tractors. at one time they did have a program to help you purchase one, don't know if they still do that. I know it was very hard to qualify for.
