Getting Loads While Using own Authority

If you are going to pay someone, you may as well just sign on as a motor carrier for a company. It's not a lease-on, you use your own authority and the percentages are higher. Not as good as your own contracts but you'd be up and running right away.

 

I think you're thinking of the monthly subscription fee to a board. In which case you're still finding your own loads, you can just see a bunch to choose from.

There's internettruckstop, liveloads, getloaded, 123loadboard.... quite a few more.

You can also go direct to larger companies, Werner, Schneider, Landstar and get loads from them. Again, NOT as a lease-on. Use the motor carrier links on the sites. Take as many or as little loads as you want from any mix of them.

 

Did you have trouble getting hired with only class B experience? I was just wondering if that's why you're going 0/0.

 

That would be reason enough for me. I'm just a single guy with no kids, no mortgage, and no baggage. I love driving trucks and getting away. I'm buying a used truck for 7 or 10 grand, getting my authority, finding a dedicated broker who provides the trailers, and hitting the road. I figure if i'm paying cash for the truck my only overhead will be insurance (other than mechanical upkeep. I think i'll make it just fine. Listen to Pharm. He's talking the talk and walking the walk, as we speak.

 

If one does not understand basic business 101, then you should not be in business. Invoicing receivables is basic business 101......

 

I don't guess I understand what you're trying to say or who you're directing that to.

 

One day this guy blows our minds with everything he knows. It's coming.. just not sure when.
