Lost my CDL need some advice from a owner operator

Even with your own truck,insurance is going to kick your butt.Good luck

 

As noted in above post check the cost of INSURANCE before you spend $ on a truck if your going on your own and if you planning on leasing on ( POWER UNIT ONLY ) to a carrier they will need to know of your past incident and that will affect getting hired.

 

Man I hate to say it but with the crash and DUI being only 2 years old and still on your MVR even as an independent with your own authority and insurance I think it will be high as hell for insurance. Course you may have already checked it out if your this far in the deal and know what your looking at. Good luck to you

 

OP is trolling. If he had 40k would of went O/O before the DUI.

OP didn't learn his lesson as he claims. Looking for a way around his mistake.

 

The 40k will make the down payment on the insurance.

 

Did my duty of having you post again without being a 1 post wonder. 8 or 13 years experience is laughable, We are both green horns.

 

OP Brokers are Brokers. Shippers are Shippers and Receivers are Receivers. Drivers are Drivers. If you had a load to transport, you (broker) get $2000 to ship and list it on Load board for $1500. A driver(company) accepts does that make the broker a bad person. NO. We are all out here to make a buck. Now the big difference is mileage on the load. But if the truck agrees to deliver for that price. If the truck is not happy shouldn't accept the load to begin with.
Most load boards will have a link to search broker credit. You can also search Safer.org for broker active or not. Then you can request broker bond information also. Good luck

Quit hating on Shaggy and stay on point: Can you get insurance that you can afford? Every other thing that you could ask about is moot without insurance.
