looking for a authority to run under

You get what you pay for. And if you have thousands of authority owners lined up to sign you on, why are you on a website asking?

There is nothing wrong with leasing onto a company btw. You just act like it’s so meaningless and easy.

 

the going rate isn’t 10%, it is 20% for good carriers to lease to.

what you are forgetting is this little problem, the carrier carries most of the liability - from cargo claims to litigation, no matter what. You as a driver/owner can screw their ratings up, trigger a safety audit or cause heavy fines to be applied to a violation. All of this costs money to rectify or mitigate.

Running an authority right takes an effort, having a truck turn say $140k in gross revenue, at 10% doesn’t pay for the labor to do the paper work.

 

My question is why give 10% and book your own loads and all that when you could give 20% and just lease on and have direct customers and dedicated dispatch and a trailer to pull since you mentioned in another thread you can’t buy a trailer and can’t find any rentals?

 

Then why are you here?

 

My insurance on new authority was 11k. Just sayin'.

 

You can lease your truck on to many companies for 25% off the top , run their freight. Your freight, load board freight. Turn the paperwork in and get paid. A few will take 10% off the top, 1 just started, their # s, self dispatch.
