<p>[QUOTE=&quot;starmac, post: 9420877, member: 249333&quot;]Why would anybody even think about starting a company with a hired driver and lease out, is beyond me.</p><p>I take it the op has some freight lined up, and wants to start a company, if that is true.</p><p>You will need to file and get your authority.</p><p>INSURANCE is a killer the first few years and dictates who you cab hire for a drive too.</p><p>Next you need a driver lined up, a real driver, a wannabe or even an average driver will not do for a one truck company. Now this driver is probably 1 out of a hundred or more of qualified, and already has a good paying job with bennies. You will have to sweeten the pot, to ever get one, and even then will be etremely lucky.</p><p>Now you will need a trailer, maybe more than one depending on what kind of deal and freight you have lined up.</p><p>Now here is the kicker, unless you know something not another soul does, that freight you have lined up is probably not paying enough, or they would not need someone to come on board and haul it, companies would be lined up trying to get in on it and cutting throats if will pay expenses, and their expenses will normally be much less than a start up co.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you do somehow come up with a great paying gig, swear yourself, your driver and somehow the shipper to secrecy, because in no time at all, their will be someone their cutting the price weekly.</p><p><br /></p><p>OH yea, what you need to start is money, plenty of it, and luck, plenty of it too, a little faith may not hurt either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
