how does a pilot car business charge its customer for its service? Does it use milage or some other means to calculate its bill to the customer?

Where would a pilot car business find loads for its business?

Does the Pilot business need to use two vehicles to pilot the truckers load?

I used to be self employed in Utah and recently moved back to Texas, I still have the corporation and am planning, or have been asked by friends in Utah, to let them work under my Corp name, tax idea, and credentials. My plan is to “hire” them as contract employees. They have Driver and Flagger certifications from Utah through the new national plan, you know the guys that are trying to get all the states uniform and more organized. The cert’s are good everywhere but New York. Anyway, I have purchased a million dollars of business insurance and have got quotes to pay the employees insurance on their vehicles. I was plannin on getting 5% and paying them the other 95% of company or rather their individual job income. The 5 percent should with my figures pay for the insurance premium and I also offered to allow each driver a 1800.00 vehicle rig up allowance. After all I am just sitting around not actually doing the work so eventually with my 5% I will get paid back my initial investment, and still be able to pay insurance premiums for them. Does this seem like a feesable business venture? It is snowballing at the moment started with 2 people wanting to do it this way and it has grown to 6 now. They say they allready have contacts in Texas and Utah and Brokers to keep them as busy as they want to be. let me know what ya think.

Just found your “where we are today” post. What an interesting job. I like the part about “nuts about your safety”; that’s really important. I’m glad to know you’re out there because I have a sister who is considering moving to Texas from Los Angeles in the future and will need someone to drive her car here. I’m saving your contact information for the future. Stay safe!

It really is a great idea. It’s actually kind of hard to imagine that no-one thought of it sooner. The gloves may look a bit silly at first, but after reading your post it’s clear how they could make a big difference for someone who is directing traffic; especially in low visibility.

Great idea & great post!

I am not sure how much it varies from state to state but I was wondering what type of certificates you need to become a pilot driver. also is there any special class Drivers License needed? Also I am an injured worker recently recovered from a shoulder surgery. Is there any lifting limitations to this? Is there a site you recommend or a way to find hiring companies? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
