Hey I get it! Like I said my opinion likely was to be unpopular. But, if you want all this freedom then get your own authority and do it for real.
I don’t do this for fun, I do it to make money. This is a high stress risky ### business so I’m not going to lease you on so that you can chase rainbows and butterfly’s as you see fit. Not on my authority, my insurance, my trailers, my billing department, my money, my dispatch. Not happening.
And btw man, no offense at all, this is just business.
I am trying to start a new kind of dispatching service and would really like your thoughts.

I am not going to run cheap loads because all my equipment is paid off. I guess you have to find newbies with a lot of overhead to run hard under your authority.
I get a lot of calls/texts from brokers trying to run their cheap loads all the time.Attached Files:

The whole reason for my guys being self dispatch is because they don't want someone telling them what to do or where to go. They want to be in control of what type of loads they do and when they take them. I don't think there is anything wrong with that and I have seen that there is a MUCH higher satisfaction rate. Even though they make WAY less money than a forced dispatch company driver would, they tend to stay much longer. I believe my current management agrees with your take on things and is starting to try to force my drivers into something they don't want to do and that is why I am looking into this other company that takes a hands-off approach.Midwest Trucker and Doealex Thank this. -
Forced dispatch along with lease to own equipment from the same company sometimes leads to this.
