    The last time I spoke with him he was an owner op with them and may be able to give you his insight. I have a couple friends who were there during the start of Covid and didn’t stay long. Maybe they both would have stayed in normal times as they are both top producers.
     
    Tall Mike Thanks this.

    Isn’t that the truth and that applies to every job I have ever had and the company I am leased to. Some people hear about what a supposed average is or what one lazy owner op makes and they assume that is all anyone can earn. Positive attitude like yours makes a huge difference and definitely effects your income. You are only one year from easy street, a paid off rig and a good income. Life is good as an owner op!

    Thanks for the info. I’ve been hauling for 10 years but bought my own truck 6 months ago. I’m running under another company's authority as I’m not ready to go completely on my own - the problem is they just don’t have alot of freight and their rates could be better. Looking to get info on the other companies out there and what other guys experiences have been. I get that you have to work hard - I’ve been in trucking for 25 years… started in food service. I’m a hard worker and your right - attitude and work ethic is everything!!
