Doubt I’d be making as much as with a company like Landstar or F2F simply because at SNI I’m not only competing with other O/O for the freight but also dispatchers for the company drivers and I’ve been warned by a couple of O/O that their loads were cancelled then given to a company driver because SNI would make more on the load. Plus a good amount of their D & H turn out to be Live loads and Unloads. Also there’s too many stories of where O/O were making decent to good money and right before their lease was about to be up all of a sudden their loads were falling through or they couldn’t find a load paying more than 1.40 a mile etc I rather not take that chance. At F2F I’ll be booking my own freight and live loads and unloads don’t really bother me as long as I’m securing no less than $700 a day I’m happy. My plan though would be my first load of the week would need to cover my truck payment that way the rest of my loads for the week are just profit for me

Wait. So companies like Schneider that have company trucks, and thousands of non driving employees ( like even more of them than drivers ) whose salaries are based heavily on bonuses, would pilfer the best loads???

Many similar carriers out there offering 88%-90% for the same thing.

I talked to a Schneider dispatcher on the phone a few days ago. He told me that they average $1.70/mi...
I said: That's what you pay company drivers?
Dispatcher: That's what we average for O/O...
Me: Hangs up phone.Jarhed1964, joseph1853, Farmerbob1 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Do a search online for "owner operator 90%" and you'll find many results.
Do not give up 20% , you'll be tossing away $700-$1000 a week easy in profit from that extra 10%
They are out there, I am with one of them.
There was many companies when i searched offering around 90% and can pick your own loadsLast edited: May 31, 2021
