Speaking of which, if you guys want to calculate the cost of an 80/20 or 72/28 percentage, even at 10-12%. Total your monthly gross which is 5-6k “ that’s a low estimate” comes out to 20-24k monthly. At 20%, your paying your company 4800 a month to do paperwork, fuel card, and whatever else they offer as a package. Gotta make sure it’s worth it. There’s a lot of factors to consider for each company but you have to weigh the benefits. In my 20 years of driving, I don’t see leasing on to a carrier for more than 10% as a fair trade off. If say, your doing it to learn the ropes or build income to go solo than that’s ok. Or if a certain company has high value contracts I would consider. Personally, I like leasing on at 10-12% with my company because of company backing. I can pick all my own loads, but still have a dispatcher to help me decided. He has gotten way better rates for me at times and always lets me make the final decision. I like having a fuel card and emergency breakdown back ups from my company. I’ve done solo, and when you breakdown in the middle of nowhere with no one to help and your flat broke, it will make you want to cry. This is just my opinion guys. Others may have different options with different results, more power to you. Hope we all make it out here!
