US MARINE Thanks this.

If we don't have the money sitting in the bank to cover fuel and settlements for a driver for 45-days we won't bring the driver on. -
Bill is telling you like it is ...
It's not a Lone Mountain deal ... It's not even a LP
It's a purchase of equipment thru his company .. And not everyone will be accepted its not like he has 10 trucks sitting on a lot he's trying to fill. If you meet the quota or vetting he will get the truck in that order ..
I'm really not sure why some of you are trying to compare this to LM does LM ensure you have a job and give you ability to succeed ? It's not even the same concept .. Bill is expanding his venture that's it ..Jarhed1964 Thanks this. -
From what I have read it looks a lot like the program Crete runs with their truck purchase program. You buy it through them in the same way but your name is on it and you have to stay leased to them or get your own financing to leave.

apu's on the trucks?do you run all 48?dry van or reefer?
-
What a driver runs is up to them. I have found running all 48 is not that profitable but it is the drivers gig to run what they want.
We do van and flatbed. You need flatbed experience and some capital to start if you want to run flatbed. After 6-12 months if you want to run flatbed we evaluate the driver at that stage. But we are not a flatbed training company so we need to be VERY comfortable that you will be able to learn the ropes of the flatbed game. I do have a couple sources that you can take a class. -

I wish y'all the best of luck. It seems BBB is doing something great. Helping people get started into becoming an o/o and a business partner.
I want to be an o/o extremely bad, but I got a lot more time to put in before that'll happen. This seems like a great idea though.
EthanBigBadBill and Jarhed1964 Thank this. -
Hey BBB, what do you think of the 95 corridor around richmond, va with van freight? I live near the piers and naval bases around norfolk and see that toady there are about 2k van loads on its within 300 miles of richmond. I've also been on the landstar loadboard (via webex demo) and seen that there are alot of van loads listed at 2.50 or above. I'm interested in partnering and gettin after the good freight. Appreciate your insight and postings.
