    You have your own equipment, trucks and trailer...correct? If that's the case, go with Admiral Merchants. You can pull from their freight for a percentage (cant remember how much, but the going rate is usually 75-80% of gross linehaul) and you can pull your own freight for an even higher percentage.

    Do me a favor... if anyone wants you to tarp an oversized load, do not tarp for cheap. If a load is so big that it takes all day to tarp, the tarp pay should pay that day's wages.

    Luck in battle.

    Ain't that the truth!
    Dear god, how does anybody even consider working for that?
    Better question, "How does anyone recommend an outfit like this?"
    Nevermind the "Thanks" button, where is the "Hate" button?

    You didn't factor in any OSOW rules and regs. You would lose your arse.

    You will be another one of those guys in the business just long enough to keep the rates down. But, it is your arse to lose isnt it?

    For what it's worth. They are one of if not the only Daseke company's that lease purchases. They have also only been a Daseke company for a few months.
