And that's exactly why I'm asking questions, mister moose. I'm certainly no fool; I don't get in over my head, so I'm not going to jump into anything unprepared. On the other hand, I'm the type of person that will never feel they are prepared, at some point I'm just going to have to do it. I...

Aye, I spoke to BigCat in a PM not too long ago about moving to an owner under FedEx and he really got me excited about freight opportunities under FedEx. I was going to give the contact a call, but realized I don't want to be OTR anymore, but I am still interested in becoming a fleet owner...

Expediter Services, as in Expediter Services : Maximizing profits for new drivers, experienced drivers, owner operators & fleet owners ? Btw, thank you again for the information you gave me previously, I just thought about it and realized I don't want to be away from home anymore, so it'd be a...

I've been driving for panther for about six months now, maybe a bit longer, and I'm becoming more and more interested in buying my own truck but subcontracting team drivers (when I can) and a solo driver while trying to find him/her a partner. I am, however, more interested in doing this under...

Are there known regions where strait truck broker loads are known to be abundant? I'm sitting here in Jackson, MS and I should have never let them send me here to be honest. It was a friday, with a 1 a day average load. I should have known better. sigh. And I've been sitting here since...

I don't know much about brokers at all, only that they book loads with facilities and then hire drivers to take care of them. That's the extend of my knowledge. :P I know Panther works with some brokers for back haul loads, but I have very little understand of this process, and how to REALLY...

bah, so it's just the luck of the draw then >.< I gotta say, I like that lottery ticket comment, and it definitely gave me a good laugh haha! And...I'm actually thinking about it :P sitting outside a wal-mart could go get some scratchers just for the hell of it. lol

I actually would of thought that a mobile advertisement would be worth more. I mean...it's clearly not, but I'm almost surprised by this. Billboards are stationary and have many repeat viewers (not sure if that means anything though tbh) but a strait truck? It's a large advertisement that...

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't find a section that was 100% appropriate for this topic that I could post in (the carrier section actually looked appropriate since I'm asking about different carriers, but I can't post in there) so this was, what I believe, to be the next best thing because...

At the very least, I'm not interested in running with multiple carriers anymore. It sounds like it's just not worth it. As far as the advertisement, a lot of really good issues have been brought up. I still am very much interested in selling advertisements, but if it's going to cause as much...

That's why I'll have to check with a legal consultant. They can tell me if that will be an issue at all.

I'll see if I can find that. I can't say I would mind doing that, as long as the compensation was reasonable. But it'd just be all the better if I could make money on loads and cash in on advertisements as well! :p

I'm not so sure about your liability concern, but I'd have to consult a lawyer to make sure. The only reason I question it is because if your same scenario were to happen, except for instead of a FedEx truck, it's a Lamar bill board, I'm pretty sure you can't sue Lamar. Just like Lamar, I...

Now that's something I didn't think about. My owner would be the one getting that extra amount of money, so that would explain why I knew nothing about it, assuming that panther does this. Would you, by chance, know where some of those links are? If I'm just trading one form of payment for...

I've thought about this actually. I'd look to be advertising services, rather than products. And services that do not conflict with my carrier(s). Trucks haul product, so there are plenty of advertising opportunities that would not put me in such a position...at least I think there are :p...
