    Well you see the code of conduct post so I can not say here. However I will say some of the carriers that advertise on this site will use you as an outside carrier. I will also say if you find a dispatch service please be very careful. It's never a good idea of letting someone who is just a...

    Do you have authority? Lots of Facebook groups that have tons of people that dispatch for a percentage.

    Straight truck question

    well really I run combination vehicle. truck and trailer so maybe I am not the best person to respond as I know a lot of people do that on the box vans under 10k maybe it is legal on regulated trucks if you have a way to enter the sleeper from the cab. but would you not need a side exit also? I...

    Straight truck question

    yes a solo can run it that way because you would not have co driver logging sleeper while the vehicle is in motion. and you as a single log off duty instead of sleeper when stopped.

    Straight truck question

    it is not legal to have a sleeper inside your box so you could not run a team. however if you are a single you could get away with using it while stopped. just log off duty instead of sleeper.

    Sorinter Dispatcher commission

    Are you running with your own authority? Or leased to a carrier. If you are leased dispatch should be provided. 5% is kinda average for a dispatch service. But really be careful who you use. And make sure to do billing yourself and then pay your dispatcher.

    Best Cargo Van for New Owner/Operator

    yes get used to it. shippers always want more space for lower cost. and carriers want the o/o to have to invest more for less pay. I do not buy into that myself. if you want to use a low top van go used so at least if the carrier you decide to go with does not work out at least you can get rid...

    Hotshot Flatbed Equipment

    Glad you are enjoying it. the difference between company driver and o/o in this segment is more than enough to offset the cost of a hotel. I only mention it because you mentioned the parking problem. lots of hotels that have truck parking.
