    Dave,

    You're obviously not on the path to becoming a used Scooter and/or used car salesman.

    Thankfully you had the OM to take care of you. I am sure OM made everything happen being the esteemed leader of the two of you. Ha Ha

    Ohhhhhhhh. I make a few bucks off the loads. They keep the rest.

    What each driver's operating expenses are, are unique to that individual.

    What does " I gotchu fam mean? "

    I'm not an esteemed member and don't know the lingo.

    Bob continues to obfuscate.

    Means “hang on and let me grab that for you”. Since you couldn’t be bothered.

    I don't know why you call me Bob. Unless it's demonstrate the superiorness of being an esteemed member.

    But I've answered your question twice now. Thrice really.

    I take a few points of the load, they keep the rest.

    What their operating expenses are is unique to how they operate the truck.

    I give them the trucks for what I pay for them. They buy them from me.

    Starting with $0.00.

    It's in a written agreement.

    The $1.30 to $1.40 i spelled out line by line for my truck.

    Do...........do they have reading comprehension courses at esteemed member class?

    I'll try smaller words.

    The topic of personal expenses is really a moot point. Cost per mile should include driver pay regardless if a driver is hired or if the owner drives the truck himself.

    There are some savings potentially available to the owner operator in some cases regarding things like workers compensation, but if you're working cheaper than a hired driver what's the point of being an owner operator?
