[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 4326195, member: 55017"] I don’t drive much anymore but I’m busy most days. I’ll spend 3-4 hours at the terminal in the morning for dispatch. You have to fix everything FedEx screws up overnight, wrong load plan, wrong trucks in the lineup, lights left on, straight trucks not plugged in outside, etc. I’ll meet with Fedex management to go over what my people screwed up the day before. I’ll chat with other contractors, networking is key to success, they’ll help you when you really need it as long as you return the favor. Then I’ll head home. I’ve got payroll to run, load plans to map out so clearly a toddler could input them but FedEx will still screw up, keep up with all the other paperwork admin stuff, etc. I’m not super efficient with my time so I suppose if you are you could get by with 20hrs, but it’d be hard. Your manager would have to be a rock star and you’d need multiple redundant backup drivers for everything that comes up daily for them to able to handle all the FedEx nonsense and never drive. That would suck up most of your profit. I haven’t seen a true absentee owner ever be really successful. There are plenty that never drive but they are still around at least once a week, the best are there daily. [/QUOTE]
