    How many folks out there have their own equipment (at least a tractor) but not their own Authority? Maybe you're leased on to some company or another? Maybe you want to run your own show but don't have your own Authority? :biggrin_255:

    (I know, it's a confusing question).

    I'm just sending out some feelers here, and real curious.

    Currently Have truck and leased on to a Company, but working to complete goals. The goal is to have own authority. First I need the cash to back my self. Last few months has hurt and set me backwards, but time will tell if the new gig will turn that around.
     
    Gears Thanks this.

    Nah, not thinking of selling it at all. Just thinking that there may be some folks that want to branch out, run their own show but don't want to go as far as getting their own Authority. Maybe working something out where folks can run under mine.
    (yeah I know...I'm inviting flames)
