Get rid of authority to lease on?

I’ve given a lot of thought on dropping mine. There are places that seem like you can make Just as much with less headaches. The place I pull for is 10% less if you are leased but then you also get there trailer. I’d probably make more leased on to them if you think about it.

 

I'm going to be getting my authority in the not-too-distant future. The reason for that is because I haven't driven in almost 10 years, so that's about the only way I can get rolling.

I would much rather at lease on to somebody like Mercer, but that's the way it goes.

Plus my truck is an older mechanical non eld compliant truck. I don't know that any companies will take new owner operators with paper logs.

But I'd rather have that truck than the new nonsense.

 

You will have to have some sort of ELD system in the truck now, no paper logs unless the ELD is out of commission for some reason and that is on a limited time frame now.

 

Wrong, his truck is exempt.

 

Who is exempt from the ELD rule?

 

Trucks that have engines that are 1999 model year or older.

 

Mercer makes you run eld's regardless of truck age

 

Malone doesn't.

 

Maybe 2.93 before their cut unless u pulling od/os most of time or short haul.people complain about paperwork and i dont c why,with all the technology we have nowdays thats the least of my worries.
U still gonna chase freight no matter who u work for if you wanna be independent.
Somebody said there’s carriers who only charge 10% plus u get to use their trailer Which cant be true,the contractor will pay insurance and trailer rent.
