Team owner operator

Leasing is stupidddddddd don't don't do it. Get your own authority its only like $200.00. And yes we are successfull as team o/o And yes we spilt everything down the middle. The down payment depends on your credit. And don't have the dealer do a loan. Go to a credit union bank get a loan from them. And just my 2 cents don't go out and buy fancy expensive truck. Buy something the right price that looks good and runs good.

 

My wife and I run team. We incorporated the business and we both receive equal wages from our company. We both have separate checking accounts that the pay is deposited in. The business has a checking account where all the truck bills are paid from. At the end of the year you can take a "dividend" and split some of the extra profit left in the business account but always try to make sure you have around 20k in the business account in case of a blown engine or other big mechanical problems.

I would buy a truck from Lone Mountain Truck leasing. You need around $5k down and put the rest in a business account to pay for repairs and plates and things needed over your first few months in business.

 

We are leased to Landstar and the truck get's paid percentage. My wife and I both take a salary of $600.00 per week regardless of what the truck makes for the week. We normally only run 110k miles a year but we haul high dollar freight, better to work smarter then harder. Our first year we turned 197k in revenue with Landstar.

 

you mite want to rethink your truck, I have nothing against big hood's but a aero truck my be better remember fuel millage can kill you, 7mpg v 6mpg will save you around $9,000 in fuel for each 100k the truck move.

 

Send me a PM I'll give you all the details you need to know.

 

I 2ND that don't buy no long nose. Your starting out go get your self a columbia or a century. You want a truck that makes you money, not a truck that looks good and sucks on fuel mileage. We have a 07 columbia with cat acert all factory getting over 7mpg on 45k loads.
