    When is a good Time to quit from being leased on to company?
    ( I want to keep Rollin with the company until I'm Able to haul my own loads)

    I have high hopes for you. If you do it right, you make magnum wage. Pay it off and re lease it. 4 of 5 fail. Carriers don't like O/O's. You get scraps. Keep them poor. No IFTA no plates, I survived, out of spite. You have to be really tough. If they don't have money, they will be our slaves. Mega Fleet, personnel, He's She's good. Lets offer them a management position. Keep your enemy closer. Mega Fleet people.

    You cant get your authority until you have an application on file and proof of liability insurance and BOC 3 filings. It kinda all in when you make the plunge. Ive had mine 20 years and a LLC or S corp is only usefull after your income reaches a certain level for taxing pueposes and does not relieve you of any liabilty and or reduce risk.

    Call Rick McNeil at MCCI he can help you with the fed tax ID#, boc 3 filings and most everything else. A pretty straight shooter, he has helped me out a lot in the past. They can even take care of you drug test and log book auditing if needed.

    Now Here is a person with big kahuna's you did Grrrrrrrreat !
    Step 1 - Call OOIDA & get your membership $45/year ( don't screw this up ) Just get it 1800-444-5791 ask for new membership
    When ever you have any questions Serious question about Authority- Boc 3 - SCRS Form-insurance required-or any question regarding DOT you can actually get it answered by people that know STUFF not by a Chicken Hauler and it is all included in your membership if you try to get it done by your self or have some unknown company do it. you may end up spending more time fixing problems than Getting it DONE
    Step 2 - Before you quit your company go to walmart and get you a binder and start looking to clone what the company you are leased to permit book looks like except the papers you put in the new binders will have your company name
    Step 3- Take it one step @ a time
    Don't Rush Don't Rush Don't Rush and that is enough for now I don't want to give you too much info but what ever you do only listen to one source of info don't start getting information from all over GOD's creations & get confused & Accomplish Nothing ........kapeesh?
    Call OOIDA tell them you have your LLC & you need to get your own Authority then let them guide you by the hand always stick with one agent the more people you get involved in one project the more of a CLUSTER MUSTER you are going to have on your hands & feel free to PM me if you got stuck
    Go Get'em

    If you are overwhelmed at this time, before you even start trucking, quit now. You must be able to plan how to get things done to be a succesful O/O. Your work is just beginning, it gets much worse.Learn to do for yourself.

    Samtheman why do you think this is ending badly?
    rich_Trucking...you are one step ahead of me. I am about to see an accountant and see how to transfer my DBA into an LLC. I have alot of things set already. I know eberything thats needed however i am not overwelmed. Im more excited than anything. Hoping its more money than we make now, and the freedom to be home more
