Who is the BEST COMPANY a new owner operator should sign with?

Amen.
Think I have said this before, but it amazes me that folks go and lease/buy/borrow a truck without a clue what their P&L should look like, their break even point, and so on. I had to do a small business course before I could do anything back home in England many moons ago. No bank would touch me without it.

Need to know what area you want to run. Its always best to know where your going to put it before you buy it. You must have got a good deal.

 

Ive been in the planning phase for 5 years now lol

 

Good Morning. Anybody knows any good company i can work for? At the moment i work for a small company and i figured out they cheat on my money. They take of 10% but i figured i got the load from florida to NJ and he paid me 2000 the broker paid over 2500. Then he took of his 10% . also After each job wait at list one day somewhere. I don't like that Romanian company. So i have my 2010 frightener i can go anywhere California ... No DEF. 475 HP. I would like to do OTR. I have over 2 y experience.

 

This. And it's true for 98 percent of truck owners.

Wow, I just fell for the old raise the old thread from the dead trick. Sorry mods! I didn't mean it. Honest.

 

Holy thread resurrection...

 

Here is the honest truth! there is no "BEST COMPANY", everyone's level of expectations are different, you might find CRST to be the greatest, while others will say their the worst, this maybe a trail and error thing for you, signing on to a company, using their authority, Best advise I can give you as a former O/O, talk with as many companies as you can, what they provide for their O/O's like plate's? and other things, How much of the fuel surcharge do they give to the O/O? not all will give 100%, Best of luck

 

Yep, saw your post and fell right in line

 

i wouldnt expect a hired driver to take care of an old truck the way it needs to be handled

my truck is an 03, i would never trust anyone but myself to drive it, because so many little things need attention, and if overlooked, can wind you up on the side of the road..........every week

i suggest you drive it, learn all of the bugs, and after you feel it is in sound condition, MAYBE THEN, hire someone else to drive it

 

Me too.....lol
