    Another experienced driver looking to possibly sign on with BennettDriveaway. Can anyone share (positive) advice or experiences with same, or for someone looking to join Bennett team, but with very little to almost no startup $ ? IF...yes, IF...you can plan well, market and manage your time well, and try to keep yourself one load ahead, is it possible to profit? What kind of expenditures are there on transportation w/o tow veh? How heavy is vehicle movement at this time? And lastly, any side details accepted as well. (Please explain the Qualcomm costs?!?) Thanks in advance! Hi Tower

    I decided to pass on Bennett and have now been with Admiral Merchants for 3 months. Only mandatory company charge is a $500.00 escrow. They definitely leave you alone and allow use of DDL software for logging. They pay 75% on in house loads and 83% if you find your own. I think I've found a home. :)

    So, how has that been for you (and IHANKS!) They are driveaway as well? I was previously an A driver, only B now, bc of expired lic yrs ago, ous been busing, etc for a # of yrs, and loved it. I'll take a look at them as well! Be safe.

    I pull my own flatbed.
    The topic of this thread was "Considering Leasing On To Bennett Motor Express" not drive-away.

    Right. I was just searching bc of *Bennett*. Hey, do YOU (OR DOES ANYONE...) know if drivers use multiple co's., either for backhauls from W.coast or deep South or FL? I've heard said some co's hv quite a few backhauls coming E or N... I'm just trying to see sooner than later if its worth my time to go back on road. Not happy with my local income. Hell, I can 'not make enuf $' and lose evthg being home evday, and look at the same4. Granted, I LOVVVVE my every night home, but somethings gotta give (aside from getting my A again)! Yeayuh...

    I've heard try: Quality, Pinnacle, LADD,(for backhauls) or *BennettDriveaway, which I'm in alrdy...
