Leasing On Trucks to operate under our Authority
Just curious. I currently drive truck and may hire on a driver who would take over my truck. I have worked in Logistics for 15 years. I would then dispatch full time. We own two trucks and trailers. So, I am considering leasing on trucks, in order to grow income and stay busy during the day. I would find the loads, dispatch the drivers, supply fuel cards, pay and get reimbursed for required insurances and plates. In talking to drivers on the road, a lot of guys are unhappy with the "brokers" they are running for. That broker will only dispatch them on their freight and it causes quite a lot of dead head. Are there drivers out there that own there that own trucks and trailers that would be interested in this type of set up? Thank you for any feedback.
