    Will you be able to find drivers? Most likely you will be. How many miles does your team average a week now just out of curiosity?

    That's outragues .. OCC / ACC on a owner Opp is just 35-45 a week 100.00 is out of control . You can shop that out and save money there also

    I'd pay 26% I'd cover the comp

    In my proposal you still are at roughly
    29.25% covering at your current rate of WC at 100 per driver which I think you can get it cheaper prob at least as low as 60-65 per driver per week which puts you at roughly 28.50% costs and saves you 9% or 540 a week or 2160 a month
