    As I said not trying to insult you. From your post it seems like you don't want to deal with problems. If that is the case being a O/O is not for you. If being a O/O is not for you why own a truck? Now could you possibly run your truck @ this other carrier? If that is possible try it. Good luck with what you decide

    You're good. No this company does not have O/O.

    I think basically if I ever went back O/O it would be own authority. I feel that would make the problems more worthwhile and could lead to something.

    But for now, this is the way.

    Sorry wrong on both parts. I’m the guy making money and not crying about bumps in the road.

    I change my mind. You should get your own authority and start building a company right now. Getting 100% of the invoice vs 65% would super charge your growth seems to me. I can’t imagine $3/mi turning into 1.95/mi all the time. And that’s when times are good.

    Go for it man. Go hard for 10 yrs and see where your at. I’m proud and happy that’s the route I took myself.

    I've been tempted at times man but there were some details I left out of my OP that I didn't want to share. Some events that were out of my control over the course of a few days over the last week and the way it came back showed me I'm right where I need to be at this company. Showed me how lucky and blessed I am and that it's time to worry about what matters. Maybe one day in the future I'd circle back to starting a trucking company but in the meantime it seems I am being led a certain way. Maybe it's all coming together as some have said.

    Probably will sell the truck.
