Know Anything About F2F Transport Out Of Chattanooga?

F2F Transport out of TN. As an experienced driver I’m asking if anyone on here knows anything about F2F transport out of Chattanooga. I’m about to do the o/o and try to get more input other than the usual reviews u read about of all the trucking companies out there. The good and the bad reviews but how truthful can they actually be? Any input is very much appreciated or if anyone knows of a good company to lease to.

I’ve seen some of their equipment around, but never spoke to any of them. Seems they are dry van from what I have seen.

Internet reviews are always a flip the coin scenario I think. The good ones may or may not be true, and the bad ones are usually from folks that couldn’t cut it. They are normally the only ones that have time for social media.

As far as buying a truck goes this is not the time. Rates suck. They have for over 2 years now. Many different reasons have been given, and all the so called experts keep making predications. None of which have come true.

To be successful as an O/O today you must have your own truck, trailer, and CUSTOMERS!!!

Leasing onto a company makes you a company driver in the end. They control how much or little you make. The falsehood you work when you want, is just that a falsehood. You decide to take time off when you want and it is not convient for them. See what happens.

I’ve been there and done that. I did ok, but just ok. They look out for their best interest not yours.

I’ve tried many different things with several companies and in the end it was always the same result. They want to maximize their earnings and if your not doing it the way they want, they cut you loose.

The ones offering to set you up with everything from base plates to insurance are the worst. Reason being is that everything you need to operate your business is in their name. They cut you loose, your out of business and your truck is not legal to be on the road.

The industry is still way over capacity and it is not looking better anytime soon.

Just food for thought!!

Thank you! Reviews like you said can be a hit or miss, especially the bad ones. Company I’m still with as a company driver had of course some bad ones but haven’t seen anything of the supposedly bad stuff. I am debating to just go ahead to have my own insurance, dot number etc for the reason if it doesn’t work with the company, I am able to continue under my own authority. Rather be safe than sorry. The industry definitely hit a low for quite some time now, even as a company driver. Lease purchase in my opinion there is nothing good about it period. U pretty much get screwed as soon as you sign up for it. I made sure to back myself up financially before I get into the O/O deal just in case. Thanks for the reply.

The majority of companies that lease trucks on require you to run under their authority and insurance.

I know jb hunt, scheinder and werner have power only programs where you run under your own authority and insurance. Probably more out there, I just don’t know of them.

Thanks. I’m with JB hunt as company driver. Downside would be that as O/O I’d have to deal with company drivers 🤣
