    Anyone getting into this business dont be scared to go in person or call these customers directly to work with them...Also if you do make deliveries at these customers warehouses ask for the freight/logistics manager and ask them if you're able to get them pricing on lanes and start the conversation that way. You gotta think outside the box if you're gonna make it.. Youll be saving them money and you're more reliable than them working with a broker. Also you will cut out a dispatcher.. I was a broker for 7 years and recently started the process to work for myself. Goodluck all and anything worth having takes hardwork and consistency and you'll be right where you need to be.

I consider myself capable of managing my own business, I’m a workaholic and got tired of giving my talents and hard work to others. God bless! By the way, I hold a CDL also 😅

    My sacrifice is quiting my job of 8 years and going for this. I have a decent job make around 65k-72k a year but theirs no way up. I have around 80k in my 401k and when I leave I’m gonna take that out(not the smartest thing to do) I’ll only get 50k of it but that 50k will help me start up my business

    • @Tony.Ruiz08

      Always do your proper research, have a backup plan, some financial Cushing in case anything goes wrong and don’t rush into things. Make sure the demand is in your area as well as location is very important. Other than that, I started out with $2500 so 50-80k it’s plenty to start!

      You can pay them per day. Weekly or biweekly. Whatever you and the driver agrees too. 50/50 & 40/60 is the way I see most people split pay.
