Hire you as Owner Operator but take my word, you are an employee. The only difference is you are the one responsible for fuel, maintenance, insurance , truck payment. You are saving them big bucks! Treat you well as long as you do what you're told like a good little soldier. DON'T START QUESTIONING THEM! The first time you do you because a target. They will lie, manipulate, steal your money until you get pissed then they fire you for reacting. By the way you are hauling their precious company freight. Their customers are treated like gods, drivers the little worker ants that are easily crushed and replaced, with YOUR TRUCK YOU HAVE EQUITY IN!
