A question for all the mother truckers out here.
After spending almost 2 yrs completely independant and finding loads where we can and as best we can the price of fuel and amount of time it takes to find loads is forcing me into seriously considering leasing to a company. While I don't like the idea of not being my own boss I believe that I can get used to it, and the benefits will out weigh the downside.
Any of you guys have a recommendation as to a good company?? Or one(s) to stay away from.
I have a short list of possibles, Landstar, Fikes, Meadowlark, Mercer, and a small local company (Lock Trucking) that we know most of the people that work there. After reading their websites and talking to O/Os from all of them I think that Meadowlark and Fikes are low on the list of possibles, with Landstar, Mercer and the local guys on the top. Mercer and Lock probably share the number 2 spot.
Any comments pro and con are welcome. Thank you
