    I keep hearing that if you Lease and do not team that you will not make any money and go broke especially during the winter when freight slows

    Could be true. I just had a 1200 dollar settlement followed by a 71 dollar settlement. You got to look at it as a monthly or quarterly average. Freight is down, but you should not sit more than an evening. Fixed cost are right around 1700 bucks a week.

    So here's a question for ya. Does your home area have any intermodal facilities?
    I have been an O/O pulling intermodal for over 6 years and the truck/business is putting $158,00 +/-
    in the bank almost every year. Of course, it beats the crap out of the truck,but we average about $ 3,500/wk
    gross. Not braggin'! Just sayin'. OH, and I'm home every night/wkd
     
    darthanubis Thanks this.

    I ran OTR on two separate occasions and hated it after the thrill of seeing America was gone.
    Bought a $ 27,000 truck and put it to work pulling containers within a 400 mile radius of KC.
    Truck has been paid off for almost a year and a half and I am still leased on to the same carrier.
     
    darthanubis and blairandgretchen Thank this.
