Greg, with you owning the truck, you are an independent contractor. But if you buy a second truck and put a driver in it, why should he be an I/C ? Particularly for those that have owners that micro-manage. Sure , you don't want to pay the employer's share of the taxes. You don't want to pay...

I would think the RV's may be a better option because of the freedom allowed. The ability to load at your convenience, if there is a relatively constant available freight I guess would be huge. So much hit or miss in expediting. And loads going away from home when you you want/need to be...

Xiggi has always been a little "out there."

Remember, he doesn't like those that follow rules.

What's his name ?

Thank You. You seem pretty smart too. You'll just learn there's no short cuts. This game takes smarts, patience, some luck helps. Very few get rich quickly. Be straight with people, treat your drivers well, run a good operation, and it'll come. Most people can buy trucks. It takes more...

I'm easily amused.

...... just don't try and follow the rules. ROFLMAO

Go to work with Kip.,,,,

On truck age. New trucks will not guarantee you'll get good drivers. Older trucks will almost guarantee you won't. There are exceptions, but I believe it's a good rule of thumb.

Yeah, pay a fleet to handle your compliance. Double your chances of getting caught. Your guys can get caught, or you get caught when the fleet gets caught. You are still responsible because the first thing a driver will do is sell YOU down the river. You need to take accouple hundred dollars...

I believe we used to have a fleet on here with Topkicks and immigrant drivers. He's out of business. And that was before EOBRs.

How you going to handle EOBR since you're running over 10,000 lbs ? You sound like you should run vans. Yellow ones.

I believe you have some good ideas. Your biggest problem will be finding good drivers. Few will work as hard or smart as you. Few will take care of your equipment as well as you. That in a nutshell is why I am not a fleet owner.

450,000 miles. The best miles are behind you. Any day going forward can be very good or very bad.

Sounds like you have a good handle on the numbers. Closer to two than one.

Geo, I apologize. You're a Better man than I thought.

If you can tolerate an M2 you'll probably love the GMC.

You'll also most likely be paid on a 1099. You'll be responsible for your own taxes. In my opinion, it's a rip-off and a scam, but it's industry standard. If you Expedite, 95% of the time that's how you'll be paid. So, it's not an Expediter Services problem, it's an industry problem. Most...

$40 per week is not bad for Occ Health. For you , in your position, Expediter Services is probably the best place to be. They are very fair, reasonable, and patient. If you enjoy it, and stay with it long term, they offer you many opportunities. And you don't have to worry about being scammed...
