    They are o/o but they are not hiring or at least thats what i was told. I usually go from chicago to moline /dav and back,sometimes waterloo. They do other things like prime reefer loads etc

    1500 isnt much when you have to maintain the truck lol thats why i say i hope it picks up. I think a guy needs to net 2500 to justify having there own truck. Im just putting up with it for now in hopes it will pick up.

    The net i said doesnt include ins for truck, truck washes,service,tolls,etc

    It adds up faster than you think

    Then after taxes u ask urself why do i own a truck.
