    Try someone like PT brokers from MS.
    You used to could pull their trailers(hoppers) and at least run and bake money.
    And they didn’t make you wait 30-90 days.
    What’s turned in by noon We’d gets direct deposited Friday.
    So dont use a factor company cause they’ll pay.
     
    Last Call, Vampire and Rideandrepair Thank this.

    Right now it is ugly out here for new start ups. With all these scam companies, brokers just aren’t as eager to work with someone new. If you are wanting to work while letting your authority age a little. Call JB Hunt. They send me ten plus emails a week begging for people to haul their power only loads. It’s not something that you’ll want to do forever but it may get you a start.
     
    Rideandrepair and Vampire Thank this.

    If you had done proper research you would have known prior experience doesn’t mean squat when getting your authority. Insurance companies, shippers, and brokers look at you as a new entrant. You have to earn your stripes all over again.

    Sell it all before you lose it all. You should have done more research before throwing away so much money. Next time you feel like that cash is too heavy feel free to send it my way.

    Do you drive yourself, or do you have a driver?

    Thanks so much. JB Hunt told me 90 days. Still got to pay this high insurance while I wait.

    I believe you put the cart before the horse and didn't do your due diligence. This is NOT a business to get in with out a solid plan in place. Good Luck
