One of my friends own a franchise before, he hated it after about a year. Why? Well because the franchisee is not completely independent, and are required to operate their business according the the procedures and restrictions set by the franchisor, meaning everything from pricing to products and services. Yes your back by well known name but what if that name takes a hit, then you take the hit. You can't change what you're doing to continue to be profitable because than you maybe in violation of their rules. So when your hands are tied and you cant change or adjust the to area how can you continue to be profitable? I plan on becoming a L/O or an O/O one day but i don't really want be under a companies program, I find it way to restrictive and I am paying for a truck that is suppose to be mine, if i choose to pay the balloon payment, not much different than leasing a truck from a dealer only with more freedom. I applaud all who have done it and where successful and being new to the business of trucking I have learned a lot from this forum.
