Does it make sense to become an O/O?

You're doing better than most. That's a good living, especially with decent benefits.

 

I receive safety and performance bonuses that take me over .40 a mile.

 

The other thing I failed to mention is that my company matches 401k contribution up to 10% of annual income. That's another one of those things that's hard to pass up.

 

Yes it is. Our profit sharing money is deposited directly into our 401k as a match, so it varies from month to month.

 

I mean think about it, that's free money

 

Sounds to me like you've already answered your own question.

 

Okay, I don't want to beat a dead horse, however, I will leave all you bright eyed and bushy tailed 0/0 wannabees with this, I had an old timer tell me he was an 0/0 back in the day and that he had 2 good days all those years, the day he bought the truck and the day he sold it!

 

Actually Captain Nemo started this and has yet to heard from again.

 

I reckon you can call me an old timer and I remember the feeling of an enormous weight being lifted from my shoulders when I sold my last truck in '05 as the man handed me that check.
