We should just make a FAQ of this at the top of the page. Each step you need, and links/phone numbers for each step.
Even simple stuff like figuring out fuel mileage over a month, etc.. |

I think that would be better for me. I was going to use OOIDA but I need to see if I'm going to stay there or not before I get involved with it. I won't be doing anything with this until next Feb or so anyway. |
I here's a link to a site that advertises getting your authority for $399 including BOC filing. Dont have any experience with them.

Ummm Goldie...if I may be blunt, you may know a lot about running a buiz in general, more then me Im sure, but from your questions you dont sound ready for a trucking business quite yet, learn a little more about the trucking business in general before such a huge investment.
More Info is good....Gman n many others advice here is golden. You are a, or have been a Co trucking employee?...If so keep your ears wide open n pick up all the tid-bits you can there b4 you make the jump. |

I think Goldie's drove for TMC and was an informal recruiter for them also, per his posts on another forum.
I would suggest leasing to a carrier for awhile before getting own authority, based on some of his questions, like Pepe said. All the paperwork and load-finding associated with having your own authority can be overwhelming at first to some. Steve Booth, Pepe, and some others here started with their own authority, but it sounds like they don't have alot of domestic responsibilites, family at home, etc. to juggle while they are learning, so they can concentrate almost completely on their new business without family "distractions". (ya'll correct me if I'm wrong) |
It is a big jump going from a company driver to your own authority. It is an even bigger jump when you go from having little or no driving experience to running your own authority. Going into business is a challenge at any time. The more knowledge and experience you have going into business the better. Grit, determination and money can over come a lot of obstacles. :wink:
