    You would not be doing bad then. Beats about anything else out there on the market I have found.

    That would be very true in a single to I would say up to ten truck operation. I do give you and any other person leases on to f2f a lot of credit because anything over 85 percent is an excellent deal. Especially what you gain with insurance and overhead.
     
    MNdriver Thanks this.

    With paying that high of a % of gross, I could imagine everyone and their brother wanting in. I'd be willing to bet Bill is pretty picky about who signs on with him. I would be the same way.
    If I ever decided I wanted to lease onto F2F or another similar company, I'd be wearing really nice clothes and bringing my typed / bindered business plan, and don't forget to wash and polish the truck before you get there!! :p

    I brought two loads to them on Friday. They don't seem too bad of a place either.
