My name is Rick and I am owner of a four truck local delivery and moving and storage company located in Palm Beach County Fl. Due to current demand we are getting more and more request to do long distance moves and deliveries. I have just applied for all of our regs to go interstate and have quotes out for insurance. My main concern is that the additional insurance expense will be a drag (financially) until I am able to compensate the additional expense with additional income. I am averaging about one to two out of state deliveries per month. Up to now I have subbed them out to a local guy that has a gooseneck. Now he can't meet my needs. So I will purchasing a strait truck with a sleeper. To offset my income I want to haul expedited or ltl. My questions....
What is the average you guys pay monthly for insurance?
I will be running two man teams for out of state deliveries. I pay my current local drivers above average for the industry here. What would be fair compensation for team drivers?
I'm sure I will have many more questions. Thank you in advance for such a great resource and your time.
