First off, I apologize if I'm posting this in an incorrect forum--as you will see, I'm not the most knowledgeable on "all things trucking." I would appreciate if anybody would be able to provide me clarity onto what a partner carrier relationship entails? From what I've read so far, an O/O--also a power only driver if I'm not mistaken--essentially works with or for a larger carrier to transport a shipment using another carrier/shippers trailer. With this partner carrier relationship, are O/Os literally leasing their vehicles and services to the larger carrier? Or are O/Os receiving a percentage of the haul? Or maybe both? Do these vary from relationship to relationship? Are O/Os allowed to do independent work and/or work with other carriers while being signed on with a certain carrier?
Basically to sum it all up, what does a typical partner carrier relationship look like--insurance/financially, liability, etc.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

A partner carrier is just another carrier that they can use to cover overflow loads, loads going to an area not serviced by the customers primary carrier or loads requiring equipment the primary carrier doesn't have. Could be a one truck show or a larger carrier.
