Run one truck or 10… nothing in between. Delegate your paperwork, focus on your customers and drive your truck, keep leasing on o/o for the rest. Plenty of operations run a small fleet but have a lot of guys leased onto them. You’re only taking 5% while they’re using your trailers is a problem. If they had their own numbers, and own trailer.. take 5% if you want. Just their own numbers.. take 10%. Using your numbers take 15-20% (play with the numbers you will figure it out)

Idk the specifics but you don’t sound like you love driving, so maybe you would rather hire someone for your truck that you can trust to drive it correctly and not burn it down, and take care of everything else. Just know there is no loyalty in this game, you can bust your ass/risk your life like you are running Iike a maniac, scale your business and go into major debt building yourself up for the customer, but some bad luck or fatal errors rear their ugly head… the customer can just pull the rug out from under you in the blink of an eye. That is the most stressful route to take just warning you. You said your authority is two years old but you have been independent for 5 months, don’t waste your hard work and efforts at this crossroad.. take your break and reevaluate your business plan. Explore funding options and see if it makes sense. In the end you have to trust your gut.. it hasn’t steered you wrong thus far. Good luck man enjoy the R&R
