If you are considering becoming an O/O.

yeah,I agree with you 100%

 

Family and expenses aside, how much have you been able to pay yourself on average per week?

 

All I can say times are hard, and may get harder, but as for now, it still can be done. But it will take hard work, much planning ahead of time, and dedication.

As a Company Driver I ran the truck as much as I could as if it was my own. I ran the miles off using the rates being paid for an O/O along with taking the amount for Fuel out and I would had made 4 times more than as a Company driver. Only leaving to take out my Truck payments, Taxes and Insurance out. Providing I can get as good miles as I did as a Company driver, which I will or better, Truck Payment and Insurance can be made in one week. But You have to be with a Company that going to run you, not sit 1/2 the time.

As a Company Driver, I made as much in Jan 09 in 2.5 weeks as I did from the time I left out after Thanksgiving and getting home for Christmas. And what I seen with the Company the O/O are getting more miles and better runs than the Company Drivers.

So before you buy, find a company that will run you and not have you sitting.

 

Thats just it you have to count on them to run you so you can make it. there is nothing moving right now what is so hard to understand about this? run your numbers all you want

I could buy jolly ranchers really cheap and sell them to 5th graders for a profit .02cents bulk and resell for 25cents each ... but If I cant get in the school since I'm an balding middle aged white guy. all I have is a bunch of Jolly ranchers.
And you bought a 2001 columbia with a 500 cat
My 2002 Columbia with a 500cat just went at auction last year for 7k hope you paid less than that

 

Boxcar, I am going off what i been doing, since i will be leasing on to the same Company, and the O/O are getting the choice loads.
