Swift owner operators..

He was a company driver at Swift, when he bought the truck.

 

Still not a good reason to lease to Swift

 

My lease guy got it himself about two years ago.

Maybe that's changed since?

 

My brain hurts now. Every company I've leased on to dis their own dot inspection. I bought a bobtail & collision policy myself after I found sometime to lease on to. Places like Schneider can get you a temp tag so you can drive to orientation. Personally I have everything seperate, ins, plates, 2290 & fuel card. Only thing I take is OCAC ins because I haven't found one worth a dam on my own.

 

Not sure about DOT inspection. State inspection in Pa, b-tail proof of insurance is required. Have mine with Great Western. 1700 p/year. Collision and some extra accidental coverage for me if injured while working on the truck.141.66 a month isn't too bad. Collision value on trk is 24 or 25,000 i think. Remember anything you get for "your truck" through a company is gonna cost you more 99% of the time.

 

You have a paid for truck. Look for a carrier that pays percentage.
What trailer can you haul?
Clist or indeed is a step toward way better. Do not go for mile pay.

 

Sure you can buy b-tail insurance. You can even buy just liability b- tail insurance. If it gets crashed, and or totaled..its your baby.

 

Call tru north and just get a temp policy till you find whatever mega fleet you Are gonna pull cheap freight for, you can afford it since they paying the big bucks.. don’t be a cheapo

 

This can’t be true. Did the new recruiter at swift lie. Say it ain’t so.
