Starting a container company

Last insurance quote I got for a 2016 Cascadia was $2300 down $1200/ month. For a 2005 Columbia was $9600/ yr. Your insurance depends on you experience, driving history, credit and year of the truck

 

if you don't mind me asking, what kind of money and shift/hours do you work pulling containers out of the nj ports?

 

Except to work all day. Ports open at what- 6 am? So expect to work from 6 to close. 50/60 hrs a week. Pay depends, there are some that pay 22/hr and others pay a lot less.

 

i live a few minutes from the port. do you know of any good companies in the area? those hours are exactly what i'm looking for.

 

Companies in your area go to Google type in loadmatch dot com new jersey

 

Depends, do they want lease operators or true Owner Operators? I know guys that are L/O's that only carry bobtail nothing more and use the company for everything else. I know O/O's that have everything, including own authority that use the company only in the role of a broker.

 

Sure why not do you have some accounts and are u able to float 30 - 60 days revenue Insurance with your own authority is about 10K per truck and I'm not sure they do installments maybe two good luck

 

did you open the company???

 

They do installments, and he can use a factoring company to get paid quicker, also have an option to get a certain percent of the rate upfront for fuel, yes the smartest thing to do is have some working capital preferably raw cash readily available but if he don't other options available
