EVALUATING PROSPECTIVE CARRIERS Finding the right carrier to lease your truck to is an important decision for many owner-operators. As part of Truckers News’ How to Become an Owner-Operator series, we are offering a free webinar this month to help you evaluate your options. Our featured speaker is Richard DeForest, ATBS vice president of fleet sales. You will learn: • Typical obligations for both parties in a lease agreement • Questions you should ask a carrier before signing on • How to compare compensation packages Since 1969, Richard DeForest has worked as dispatcher, re- cruiter, operations manager and an executive with small and large fleets. His experience includes dry van, refrigerated and flatbed operations. In 2001, he joined ATBS, where his duties include writing a quarterly newsletter and conducting internal training sessions.
