I have been doing a lot of reading / research for a while now and ask anyone who has any knowledge of the industry (local, interstate and intrastate), but most have a lot to say about driving, companies- good and bad, equipment, expenses, benefits, training and so on.
What Im looking for is to become a fleet owner. There aren't that many post that speak about fleet owners. Im not interested in driving my own trucks for now unless needed. I would like knowledge on what companies offer to fleet owners. I realize the fleet owner / company becomes a contractor for the expiditer company but I would like to know what reasponsiblity issues fall on the fleet owner and what does the carrier handle, for example are things like - do we find our own drivers / teams or will the expiditer company get a driver for my trucks? Do the drivers work for the fleet owner or do they for the expiditer company? how is pay handled do they pay the owner and the owner pays his employees (drivers) or directly to the drivers? If anyone has more information on becoming a fleet owner feel free to add your comments or point me in the right direction so I can find the answers. Thank you
