I lease on to one of the top names. I figure it costs me about 10-15% over striking out on my own, but that much of that extra money would be spent in other ways anyway - higher insurance, extra paperwork, billing hassles, all that jazz.
Also Mercer and USA Truck are top shelf. Schneider apparently has some new chicanery going on with their program. Not sure I'd include them in the upper echelon right now. Not without a bunch of digging, anyway.

Own authority. Be an independent.
Why buy a truck to be on your own and then not go out on your own?Czar_Zero and shooter19802003 Thank this. -
Depends on what are you ?
If your a truck driver I would say just lease on.
If your a business person and a real good one then start your on business and the sky is the limit.
This is called the TRUCKERS report forum.shooter19802003 and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -

that’s the thing that stops people from not failing, they don’t see it isn’t their money. It didn’t cost you anything, it is part of using the carrier system.
I came to the conclusion that the money to the truck matters, it is the only thing that matters.
they are providing you the opportunity, they are the owner of that load, be it through a load board or their customers.
It is just like those who fail at landstar, they are like others with a huge amount of opportunities but people are talking about load boards, leaving 75% of the loads out. I don’t use their load board, i have one driver who insists on doing so and he has less revenue earnings than those who work the agent system. -
