    Yeah, I am calling ARI today and see what the extra weight truly is. I can think of just a few places where I would not have wanted to deliver but probably could have with extra effort I guess.

    I wouldn't drive any truck, let alone my own without taking home at least a grand a week. Life costs money.

    I hear ya Swamp Thing. I think it would have to be 6k minimum a month or its stupid. I dont see why someone would run for 1.25 including FSC? Makes no sense. Better to be a company driver by far so you can say" hey the trucks broke get me another" rather than saying "Honey, we need 6k for engine work" ! I would get back into it OTR again only if I can have a roomier truck so the wife is comfortable. My kids are getting big so easier for my parents to watch over them. I guess if nobody will hire me as an O/O I will stick with just fishing in summers and Local Fuel Delivery in Alaska in winter.
