[QUOTE="brian991219, post: 12113115, member: 122252"]As said above, the back office is not complicated just slightly tine consuming unless you keep right on top of it. There is no need to outsource any of it although some folks do and that's what keeps me in business. If you do outsource there are plenty of good options available with some research. The question you are not asking is if the rate difference is really worth the extra exposure, time and costs associated with being fully independent. Sure, fuel and tire discounts are available, but your insurance will likely double or more vs being part of a fleet plan. Factor in the costs, including your time to do the recordkeeping and the delay in payment (or cost of quick pay) and ask yourself if it is really worth it. Either way I'm sure you will be successful given your track record of study before jumping into something new. Best wishes.[/QUOTE]
