You may want to check with them to see if it is applicable in California. If so, it could save you a chunk of money.
Already tried that route, and CA won't allow it. My rate isn't that bad (its not that great either), its 17% of the wage, what drained me was the "deposit" I had to pay up front.

My husbands company doesnt pay workmans comp/ He goes thru a personnel/payroll agency, although he pays at a higher rate they cover everything that would normally come out of pocket. The employee has to deal with the agency, re: payroll, taxes and workmans comp issues. Takes the load off.
Glad to hear your truck is running, hopn for hot weather here
take at cha later.....A
Well I'll be working, or so thats my plan, but just nights so the baby can have me during the day.. If I simply can't do both though I'll just get a 2nd driver to cover the night shift, I want that truck running 24hrs a day so I can make it when the making is good.

Your truck should be working F/T soon, so enjoy your time "off" while you can

Welcome to the site Anthony

If you can't find something already set up you may want to consider building something. My truck (see sig) does what your looking to do. I built it from a former tanker truck, we shortened the wheelbase and moved the axles to make it ready for the box. I paid 24k for the truck and another 4k into modifing it for my needs. Its a 2000 Freightliner, alum. frame, 330 Cummins engine with a 9 speed, can't remember what rear end gears, but its set up to run highway. Truck works very well for me, gets great fuel milage, reliable and can haul much more than most others can in my area. Sure it takes a while longer to get upto speed in the freeway, but I still make it to the job sites just fine, lol.

Other than that I can't help you much since I don't know the business there in FL.

Best of luck 8)
Floored the only reason your built truck works is because it stays on the road and in places it won't get stuck. In Florida you will want a truck that was born a dump those trucks down there go through alot.

He said he wasn't planning to do anything heavy. And what he listed is what my truck hauls on a daily basis on and off road. I'm sure he will figure out what he needs though
