    Assuming you’re based in California with your name, AB5 just passed which makes owner operators leased on employees unless lawsuits etc get things changed. Something to keep an eye on which will dramatically increase your costs.

    Let's just say that if you provide a dispatching service, that is one thing but if you are an authority and provide the other services, you need the means to actually pay for all of that stuff up front for each truck/owner and to provide for the possibilities of having loads rejected by the trucks/owners because that's how leasing legally works.

    If I'm not mistaken he can require the owner ops to form an s-corp, be employees of the s- corp and avoid the problems that way. Just throwing it out there.

    Easiest thing to do with his model is move the corporation to a different state. Should only cost a few hundred dollars.

    Im leasing my truck onto a company and they charging me $375.00 a week for insurance and $150.00 a week for trailer rental. So that's $575.00 a week I pay. The truck gets 85% profit. Is this good?

    7% for fast pay would disgust me to the point where I could not have a relationship with the person thinking that 7% is acceptable. I would be like wow what a dbag.

    I only take 6% from my leased guys. They pay everything. And dispatch themselves.
