Another tip from experience. Buy a truck that will be legal on an rgn. A flat top or mid roof might save you thousands
I didn't make it, but I want other startups to learn from my mistakes.

There are pros and cones of factoring and good threads of different views on the subject. I don't want to factor for the simple fact, that in my believes, once a work is complete it is due to be paid for. Those who take you to do the job and don't plan on paying you right after are swindlers in my eyes. Quick pays are swindlers invention too.

Spring is coming ... bark season is close (doesn't pay great but better than the loads you posted)
Construction season after that... -
EDIT: But if you've ever wondered why the people you are hauling for don't seem to want to cough up the money right away... it's because they haven't been paid yet either.Oxbow and redoctober83 Thank this. -
What happened to the app, I'm curious as to what kind of truck and what kind of repairs that he was doing.
I can only assume it was a newer truck with emmission problems -
for the OP, I can only say I hope you get a chance to lick your wounds and get another shot at it, it's frustrating to be so close to cracking it and stumbling at the last hurdle, best of luck moving forward.

This was over a -$10000.00 week PLUS re powering my trailer with a load on and lost revenue for 2 weeks right before Christmas in my first year. Still stings and not even completely repaired yet.kenn2632, Oxbow, blairandgretchen and 5 others Thank this.
