    Hi! Does anyone have any experience with Greatwide in Reno, NV? I'm o/o and
    I work for Landstar. I'm thinking about dedicated run with Greatwide, but will I make enough money with this company?

    Get your own truck and continue with Landstar. Thats my OPINION. You are already a LS approved driver. Having your own truck and making all the decisions will be far more freedom than working for the O/O.

    GW has a contract all drivers sign the contract. It tells you how they pay you for miles and what your pay scale is. If you didnt like the contract you should have gone elsewhere. Its all in blk and white.

    No its not all in black and white. read the contract and look at the deductions we are fighting for money that this contract says we should be paid for.

    It sounds more like you think that GW could do just fine with a company full of dispatchers/agents and no drivers.How about if you don't like the O/O 's, at GW find yourself a company with some, more to your liking.:biggrin_25525:
