Roadee:
I've been thinking about the opportunity you have asked about. You say you can earn 73 cents plus FSC, minus fuel cost. and 102 cents plus FSC, minus fuel costs, a difference of 29 cents per loaded mile.
A solo in a straight truck might realisticaly have 70,000 loaded miles in a year or about 6000 miles per month loaded. that's $1740 more per month than a solo working for an O/O. Will that $1740 pay for all of the truck expenses including, but not limited to: Deadhead mileage, truck lease payment, license plates, insurance, repairs and maintenance. Just some food for thought.
Don't misunderstand my comments or motive for reponding to your request for info/advice. My desire is to see you succeed because you have thought about all the angles related to expedite trucking. Good luck with the research.
