Paying to Run Under Someone's Authority??

You will find that most companies will charge you a percentage of the load. Load Star and such do it on a large scale.

 

Yes this can happen. It can be alot more too if the driver you deleted had a real bad driving record. But like Wonderdog said, I have also added drivers at no cost. If the driver you are adding has a good record (low premium) and you are not adding equipment (i.e. if you are going to use him as a relief driver) he will generally be added at no cost IME.

 

I have a friend who bought some sort of towing insurance rather than what most otr companies carry. Premium was considerably less in his case. I don't recall the particulars, just that the premiums were less. If you plan on pulling any other type of freight, then that type of insurance won't work for you. Insurance is expensive. Authority only costs $300. A number of factors come into play when calculating insurance. I would check around further on rates. Premiums can vary widely. If your new venture cannot support the premiums, you may want to reconsider the direction you are considering and perhaps just lease to a carrier or look at hauling different types of freight other than towing.

 

Never heard of 'em.

Pull for fuel money to get there and pray for high paying load out? go nuts ... Might work if you put together some ltl to make a trip out of it ...

 

You believe those stats do ya Wonderdog? I think they want ti get you in there with no plan to get out.

 

Yeah I do..... All it takes is a phone call n you know the rates.... When you look at a load on internet truckstop it alerts the broker that someone is looking at there load..... When they call you before you have a chance to see everything in the load you know there desperate...

 

When you say they are trying to get me to go to florida.... Who are you referring too????

 

No you specifically. You in the general sense. The preverbial you. Never mind. Carry on.
