    U should lease on. I'll be ###### if it isn't cheaper in every single way. I've had my own numbers, and the $1500 a month insurance payment, and compliance bs, and billing. Now I pay 10 percent and don't deal with the bs, pick my own freight, pay less for fuel. I'm not even considering going on my own numbers again. I pay an extra 10 percent for a reefer, fuel included. I'm very happy with this arrangement. The only downside is I get #####ed at if I cut someone off, where before I would call the person who called to complain 100 times over the next week

    If they raise general liability to 2 million dollars you may very well do that..... I don't see single truck owner operators who are fully independent lasting beyond another 5 years. I can't go into why on here because of political

    You need to do your home work with them. Might just be on the wrong set up.
