<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mover man, post: 8352961, member: 39393&quot;]MANY years ago I used to dream of getting my own auth and eventually having 3-5 trucks. With wife at home doing paper work.&nbsp; It was much harder back before everything was computerized. However bring in the moving business it was even harder.</p><p>However the wife and I used to argue about it. </p><p>Being leased onto a moving company meant. Someone had my back. Need a grand or two to run load. They give you advance. Bought plates and permits charged back over time. Need a over haul or new truck. They would finane you if needed.&nbsp; Glad forward kids grown graduated college and on thier own now.</p><p>Difference now. </p><p>Leased-&nbsp; they find load I can turn down or accept. </p><p>Own auth- I find load. </p><p>Leased- break down while in load. One phone call They repower or rent penske for me.</p><p>Own auth- Totally up to me to handle. Penske wants $7-10,000 deposit cant use amex for that.</p><p>Leased- deliver load paid next week.</p><p>Own auth- generate and send bill. Wait 30 days or more for check to arrive.</p><p>Leased- My choice they can get plates etc. And charge me back over time. Or I can do myself.</p><p>Own auth- Totally up to me.</p><p>Leased- Go home and stay as long as I want.</p><p>Own auth- same deal.</p><p>Leased- Over haul or new truck time. They will finance and charge all or prt over time.&nbsp; Or I can pay myself.</p><p>Own Auth- Thats&#039; my baby no help.</p><p>THE BIG ONE=&nbsp; MONEY DIFFERENCE</p><p>I have no idea the difference, but last year in total between loaded empty dispatched and not dispatched I put 68,000 total miles on the truck and grossed $2.72 per mile.</p><p>So what ever the difference is, I really don&#039;t want to no.</p><p>At this stage in life for me own auth isn&#039;t worth the additional work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
