Advice to new owner/operator

[Lead_sled]

Thanks for the company list. I’ve seen those pop up and I briefly cruised a few of the just for info seeking purposes.

In reference to the 65%, it was J8 Hunt. The recruiter was making things smell like roses, but the 65% to me was very questionable. I also continued to press for live board snapshots to see what these loads were paying to breakdown to a mileage rate. Nothing was given. I didn’t really give it a thought about the advice not competing with their company trucks.

This sand hauling thing has fallin into the dirt, very slow.

I contacted another company last week, one not on the list. It’s a split of 88/12. Also another option of 80/20, but with trailer rent, ELD, insurance, etc paid. I may try this company to get my feet wet and to try to figure out the system as I’m new into it.

I appreciate the advice. And if there’s anything else anyone can suggest, I’m open ears.
