When it's $1.48/mile versus .48/mile why not aspire to be an o/o?

For the week ending 2/3/2018, I averaged $745 per day, on around 1800 miles. Home every night, start around 3am, back at the yard around 2pm. Power only, one preloaded trailer, multiple stop delivery.
edit: That was a 5 day week, M-F, $3700 to the truck.Blu_Ogre Thanks this. -

My dad is leased to small carrier. 6 company driver and about 15-20 owner op's. My dad only supplies bobtail insurance and plates. Everything else the carrier pays for, even tolls and full fsc.
100-400mi a day home every night weekends off. 146k this year on 74,000 miles. Truck paid off and never breaks down.
Running northeast pa you must see some Nealon transportation trailers?? (red lettering) white mack company trucks. That's where my dads leased
EDIT. 80-85% of the freight is 1 way very rarely does he ever get a backhaul. Carrier takes 23%Last edited: Mar 1, 2018

I don't recall seeing Nealon trailers, but now I'll look out for them lol.
I'm paid by the piece for the LTL loads (monday-friday), and miles for weekend truckloads when I want them. Both come with FSC added, and the weekend truckloads have accessorials and add-on flat pay for certain origin / destination zip code combinations. But no percentage. And I haven't seen a back haul yet as an O/O with them lol.Last edited: Mar 2, 2018
