    Yes, I am a lease op. And yes, technically, I can go home whenever I want. I was also referring to the time I spent as a company driver, it that was only a few months.

    I'm doing very well. I ran solo for well over a year and did pretty good. I made more than I would have as a company driver and that's the main thing I was looking for. Now I'm a trainer and doing even better. But I have had business experience with running a couple of businesses, and already understood the concepts of profit/loss and controlling costs.

    If its so then I will do the best I can stay with them through the first year even though things will be hard. But after a year if things dont change then I will move on

    You sound happy with the lease at Stevens. That Peterbilt 587 looks nice. Didnt know if you are a trainer. Would it be possible if I request you to be my trainer?

    I wasn't there a year so i can't honestly say how the pay would be. Personally I wouldn't hold my breath though.

    You have to pay your dues. I got very lucky and got a job that I really enjoy and make a nice living as well. The good jobs are there, you just have to find them. Once again, Stevens is a great place to start.
