    After battling with insurance companies the past month and a half as a new Authority with more than one truck it’s looking increasingly likely I’ll have to find someone to lease on with.

    Need to find someone that will take on 3-5 trucks running intermodal in GA, have my own direct client, don’t require anything past the use of numbers and insurance, the rest I have well sorted.

    Names? suggestions?

    Have you thought about buying another company with good DOT #? I've seen some selling out with good DOT records.

    Not at the moment, I've come across a few on my local Craigslist business section. Not long ago on here there was a member who is not running anymore pondering selling out, I can't seem to find the his posts now. Do a google search or a local Craigslist search, good luck to you.

    I'm sure he'll have a few million bucks just sitting in the bank waiting to be used to buy another transport authority/ company

    You gotta open your own after a month you’ll be good.

    Screw giving money away to other people

    I’ve opened one, but can’t get Insurance for love nor money, I cant even get a quote for intermodal work.

    Tried berkshire, progressive, and smaller companies. My drivers have clean records and minimum 8 years exp.

    Are these trucks you own with employee drivers or are they going to be leased to you?
