Should You run for Multiple Carriers? Part 2

Lawrence · Mar 13, 2013

As promised - Shelly has delivered Part 2 of her 3 Part series:

First the “Good”…and I want to stress that the vast majority of you ARE Good…

The Good Owner Op knows he is first and foremost a Small Business Owner, and it’s his obligation to maintain insurance that matches what he does…Expediting.
He knows that if he chooses to haul for more than one Motor Carrier, he has an obligation to provide correct insurance to the Motor Carriers as promised in his contract. (…Similar to the plumber, carpenter or electrician subcontractor who work for more than one General Contractor.)

That is it. "The good owner op". In the van sector you have many just going paycheck to paycheck and have nothing to lose. It is that reason they could care less. Same reason many drive around with no auto insurance.
