From my 2nd hand experience, old coworker. he seems happy stays gone for a month at a time but is knocking down his truck note, seem to be keep food on the table at home. Not making anymore then a company driver but is quickly paying off his truck.

 

I am an O/O in the system for 2 years. I am not in the LP program, but I can give you some insight on the system.If your interested.

 

I have my own truck and I am interested in how it works for sure.

 

Anything specific ? Or just general stuff?

 

In general please. I would benefit from that more. Thank you in advance

 

I do not offer advice or guidance. Folks need to do their own thinking.Basic agent system.
Line Haul 75% first year with flat or step.
Fuel 100 %, Tarp 100%, $50 stop,100 % of deadhead pay.You can pretty much do what you want.A person has the option of calling agents,using Load boards, or using a specific agent to look for freight and dispatch in Missoula. Only once had a person speak really ugly to me,got that corrected.Real nice upfront folks.Not one pay issue ever! If it's a brokered load the agent or dispatch will email you a copy of confirmation.Then when loaded you get another that breaks out the pay,which is agreed upon before you ever accept the freight.Work what area of the country you want. It's a mix of agent freight and spot market.Last year saw a lot of coast to coast freight for steps and flat.And a good amount of OD.Its what a person makes of it.Don't really know how it compares to Jones,Mercer or the others.It all comes out in the wash any way.

 

Thanks for the information, gives me something to go by.

 

OK Big Boy. What make model of trucks are available? Do you have enough money left over after lease payments and trailer rental to feed yourself, LOL you know I'm asking because some companies you don't.
