Finally got my own truck

I hear you.
But still lots of money you losing.
Insurance is only high on first year. (I paid 14k for my first year)
You dont have to have factoring service many brokers offering free quick pay. 30 days is not bad once start flowing in.
Overall it is not so hard there is not much of paperwork.
You can download scanner pro application on you phone so you can send paperworks to broker by email. Only Landstar requires originals (thats dumb but they still doing it)
You can leased to any carrier with your numbers active till got some age.

 

I do one bracket and that's it. You're doing what Mike & Mike used to call "Sheets of Integrity".

 

And every single percent is going to be crucial if the market stays bad for a couple years. God forbid it got worse! Might be the difference between making it and not. Or between continuing to make progress or barely skimming by.

You started at the start of a really unique time. Getting through and persevering this next step is what’ll decide if you’re in this for the long haul or not. IMO.

 

If enough foul truckers leave nasty surprises, yes.

 

This aint a bad market. Stay in this long enough and you will see what a bad market looks like

 

When was it worse? I think that this time, two years ago, it was not any better but I can go that far only.

 

2009 was the worst in recent history.

 

2015(or was it 2016?) was bad, much worse than today. 2008 thru 2009 made 2015 look like a great market.
