    Yes, that is known to happen.

    Create a Brokerage like ABC Brokerage and then ABC trucking and broker loads to yourself.

    Keep as much as you want then after brokering it to yourself saying "hey this load is only paying this much". :rolleyes:

    What is TTT?

    To The Truck
    That’s my math. It’s what my truck makes that matters not what all the other numbers are

    In the end. All companies are getting us somewhere.
    You just need to find the one your comfortable with

    Sirta like the States with no income tax
    I came from Mn and they have probably one of the highest taxes but you can’t argue with the fact that the State as a whole is probably one of the most well kept

    I now live in a no State income tax State and it shows but all States have maintenance and will get that $$ from somewhere

    LHT wasn't bad when I worked there as a company driver. I left in 2018 due to health and family issues. I dont know how they are since JD left, but word on the street I get is its not what it used to be. Mabie someone with more recent experience can jump in.
