It took less than 15 days to have everything in order. The cost was a third of these companies that advertise to do it for you. All you have to do is be motivated and have a brain. The problem today is there are a lot of people attempting to be in the trucking business and have no clue. Especially when they can buy a truck for little or nothing down. (when I started you had to have 25% down, no matter what your credit) But that is for another topic.

And like me with 11 years experience as a drive and o/o doesn’t mean your going to make it on your own. I have found that most of the good companies that broker loads will not use you if you haven’t been in business for at less 6 months. This is a lot of bull I guess they have forgotten what it was like to put all your money into something and hope it works. Besides what is 6 months going to tell you about a company. For instances if I run under someone else for 6 months then go on my own what can a company tell about me other then I’ve been in business for 6 months. NOTHING!! I could understand if there was a reason behind it like for safety reasons but there isn’t . I think there going about this wrong because there is some good companies that are just getting started. They should at less consider and use the ones that can provide proof of there experience and safety in the trucking industry and not just turn them away. But they fill the load boards with loads that you can’t haul. Just because you have your own authority and a good truck and trailer .
