    I started working for my company in March.

    Bought my truck in September with the $15000 I saved since I started. Saved another 20 since than.

    I have no wife ,gfs, kids or life.

    55 Now.

    Done that lived it.

    Had the wife and kid.

    Kid overdosed on Oxy Christmas morning at the age of 17. Wife went off the DeepEnd.

    Many businesses. Some successful,some just not worth the sacrifice for what they demanded.

    Wanted a truck I could work when I wanted to work. Rest of my time Frikoff

    338 - the answer to your questions

    No company will let you use their MC and insurance or rent you one of their trailers without taking a cut . Why would they ?

    Don't worry how many times a load is brokered, if a load pays an acceptable rate to a desired destination book it .

    If the company wont do the billing or be involved with the money , are you going to factor ? Do you even know what that means ?

    You wont drive in NY , Why ?

    The cost of operating a power unit leased to a company vary but as a rule of thumb expect a minimum of 24000$ in repairs and maintenance
    50k in fuel
    6k for non trucking liability insurance
    2k for plates
    550 for heavy haul tax
    500 for ifta if you smart
    Plus truck payment
    Divided by 12 and that is a very rough estimate.

    The next part is my opinion.
    None of it will matter tho because you worried about all the wrong #### and it sounds like you have been listening to the wrong kind of people ,failed owner ops #####ing in a trucker lounge about how its everyone else's fault they failed , Using terms like fleece and double brokered and saing I wont go to NY. You will fail and I'm telling you this to try to help you , but I'm sure it won't make a difference.

    Hey it's the way life Rolls these days with these big drug companies distributing these heroine pills like candy .

    Good buddy of mine just lost his 23 yo son to oxicotin overdose 2 months ago down here in SW Florida.


    Number one killer of teenagers down here.


    If you have children , talk to them about drugs. Mainly oxicotin and her ion.
