      Thanks for the information
      I need your explanation on this please,
      I have over a year with my authority, some broker keep telling me the can’t work with me because I do not have DOT inspection on file yet.
      Some people says I’m the one who have to add dot inspection on file and others says It’s about Random DOT officers inspection.
      What’s your idea on it.
      Thanks in advance

    Struggle is real !! I don’t do OTR little lone foot the bill for my own truck. Seeing my O/O friends struggle I’ll stick with my hourly dump trucking job and be home every night. At 49 an hour and plenty of OT if I want it, it’s a no brainer. This economy is dealing havok

    The essence of wealth is finding an easy solution to a hard problem. I understand now general freight trucking is a hard solution to a easy problem. It takes a tall man to admit defeat, but now we all have a opportunity to try something new. There’s money everywhere, you just got to find it.

    Thank you so much for this great video. Im an OO in Cali and its becoming harder and harder each day. I just requested cancellation of my insurance and glad that I came across your video. I will now be working as a company driver and now not worrying if there will be work for me. I run local and again it used to be good. Rates are dropping and there are weeks that I only have 2 runs. I think im making the right decision and like you said, its always there if things got better in the future. Easier to reinstate it. Thank you again!

    Rather than shutting down an authority, I have lost my mind in 2022 and am looking to get into the O/O or trucking/driver industry. Why do this? I am retiring from my desk career, and believe that transportation is at least a viable career in semi-retirement, and can bring some basic monthly cash flow if managed correctly. I'm a new member with Adam, as I welcome his wisdom, experience and insights. As a fellow Badger, I'd hope that some of us locals could meet up sometime, and talk about the business of logistics and trucking. Cheers to all newbies (myself) and the grizzled veterans here.

    Good advice Adam. The average driver can make $250/$300(more if you want to actually work) a day without doing a whole lot of anything. If you are not netting that as an O/O it’s probably a good idea to suspend operations or shut down and take a driving job.
    Unfortunately😜 I have dedicated freight 50-52 weeks a year and make a comfortable living. But! At 55 years old I would gladly trade my business for a driving job that would give me some flexible extended time off. As I get older it’s more about quality of life and not money.

    If you are genuinely struggling just stop and do something else while you still have the chance. Don’t be stubborn and end up losing it all. These brokers do not care about your feelings and bigger fleets will run their trucks harder as this storm progresses. There isn’t enough cream to support the solo guy anymore.

    Good information. Don't forget to deactivate yourself and you drivers from your drug and alcohol consortium.

    Lowering insurance to 750k liability while dropping cargo will get picked up by carrier411 people, they will put a mark on their system for brokers to see, unless cargo insurance is kept on file. Once you decide to reinstate your authority and raise coverages brokers will tell you, you are showing up as a new authority.

    Bi brother I’m in a bad situation with my factoring RTS company, I signed up just couple of weeks ago. I took one load with them, then I hire a dispatcher and where I live there is a good load that pretty much available all the time but RTS don’t work with them as they pay within 46 days, so my dispatcher suggested me to switch my factoring, now RTS SAYS I’m in 1 year agreement… I think I have to pay them or sth
    what is your advice ?

      If rts won't work with a broker there is probably a very good reason. Beware of that. If u signed a contract you are bound to it. Any reason you can't work the broker without factoring it? Wait the 46 days or take quick pay?
