Should i stick with this company ?

If you’re earning good money and happy , I’d stay where you’re at .

sounds like you’re doing pretty good.
I’m in the states so it familiar with what is good earnings for Canadian drivers but $8-9 k per month sounds good .
And the milage and detention and stop pay sounds good to me

even better if the company treats you with respect.

 

Its seems that you earning good money running otr. One thing you would want to look at is how much is the rate per mile with the company you would for as a O/O. The highest I've seen with a Company was out of Vaughan, On. That paid $2.15/mile. Most companies seem to average $1.30 to $1.45/mile giving a fuel subsidy however now a days they aren't even stating how much that is when they use to 6 months ago but a lower mileage rate. I've even seen a few companies advertise now $1.59/mile including paid plates, Insurance, All Tolls, IFTA etc.. but again fuel discount without stating whether its $0.30/liter or gallon or 20% etc. This is misleading because when a driver is running their truck more it makes a huge difference on the books. Personally imo you're doing great with $1863.90 (running Toronto to Montreal and back 1200 km = 6000 km * 0.6213 = 3727.8 mi @ $0.50 = $1863.90) even when realizing you do more & just basing your annually income off of that its $96,922.80 without any worry about Truck repairs, maintenance or issues oppose owning your own truck. I feel as a driver you have to consider the overall cash flow & weigh out the problems that go along with being an o/o. Companies will sell anyone a story but never tell you about the issues along the way. I'm running similar back n' forth from Toronto to Montreal but at a unizoned company in a day cab so we're in a 5 star Marriot 2 Nights per week avg. $1600/week. I've considered O/O but will only consider the right opportunities if they occur and the main thing is $2.15 plus per mile including plates, fuel discounts etc. Because I personally don't want problems with a used truck that was overhauled. In my driving career I've had to much issues with older trucks including a lot of blown turbos so new with a full motor and transmission warranty is essential.

 

You probably won't do better as an owner op until you get into specialized freight or start building a fleet.

 

The job is the same no matter where you go. Sit in the seat and drive. The difference for me is the ppl I work with. If I don't like them, I don't like the job. Lucky for me, I adore my fleet managers, and love them like family. There's not enough money to work for a place you hate.

 

I’d stay where you’re at.
Not easy to find a place you like. A job you like.
O/O brings risk. Also a lot more work.

I’ve gone through 6 companies in 3 years. Just plain intolerable.

 

That’s pretty decent money.
