Any independent O/O’s consider team driving with another O/O?

How would that work?

 

Man, you have the strangest ideas...

 

No

 

I have thought about leasing on an O/O to my company. Sure, however, joining up with another company seems like a liability. I live to work, not the other way around. There are not many folks out there like that. I can have fun in heaven, so there is no use of it here. I can see myself just being dragged down by some one else. I can only see someone offering a partnership if they are lacking something that the other has mutually. But for the life of me I can’t think of an example.
Let’s try capital and expertise. If one had expertise, capital would follow. So if you think you have expertise without lots of capital, you have been doing things wrong- therefore lack the notional “expertise.”
Now back to leasing on an o/o and forgetting on a business MC partnership. I can offer my services to an o/o that would like/benefit from them. I would benefit from the increased capacity from the o/o to assist in direct freight.
I can see that, just not, two mc working together.

 

I don’t know any reasons that'd benefit someone that already had their own truck and trailer. Even if it did, no one wants to team drive.

I think a better idea would be to hire a driver and the two of you slip seat. 2 weeks on 2 off or 30 on 30 off. Keep the truck moving around 350 days a year. You could get a new cascadia getting 8+ mpg and limited downtime.

 

Better have a solid contract with everything defined, this isn't a situation where you can just share resources.

 

Why split my earning if I can pay someone .60 per mile to drive when I’m sleeping?

there’s way to much headaches involved in what op proposed.

example repairs, Ifta, and many other areas where your will come to disagreement.
