Working for a mega carrier then quitting after training.

In all honesty, I want this route becuase I have my own home business with my wife breeding exotic mastiffs. So while I'm out working as a Lease owner operator she will be tending the flock. When it's time to breed I can take time off to help. If I go get experience in a mega I can't do that as home time is a rarity with them. Also my parents would lease Me with 0 experience granted I atleast get training eith a trainer for a while. I just don't wanna start off making crumbs and healing ### for 700$ a week at western express, no disrespect to any drivers working there. But if it came to that I'm fine just breeding dogs. Also this helps becuase i can book loads going towards a client who purchased a puppy as most of my clients are out of state. Offer cheap transport since I'm double dipping.

 

No we plan to transition to trucking as we retire our dogs in a few years. The cheap is only when we have litters and only with our pet deliveries. I'll be full time trucking while the wife runs the kennel. We just can't quit breeding and dive into trucking right away. Once the market improves which will hopefully be in a few years then we will commit to only trucking.

The dogs sells papered at 3500 I don't think we'll be bankruptcy anytime soon. We been in the business for a long time. And when I say cheap. The transporter charge 1.50 cents a mile per Crate. I'll offer flat rate 500$ per puppy with 3500$ each puppy.

 

I like your idea but it's not efficient as I paid 6500 to get my cdl the rate for sprinters are terrible. Plus I like having a large cabin as my living space in doing OTR.

 

I doubt they would lease me with 0 experience. I gotta roll with my connections and network.
