    hello guys im fresh out of the lot in my own truck. I just bought a used volvo 780 and im trying to get going on my owned and operated company. I have been working as a contract driver where i am given loads from point a to point b and have been getting a percentage of the profits.


    The real question is how do yall do it... is there a formula as far as rates to know what to ask for so your not being screwed...

    if anyone can help id really appreciate any advice and guidance

    You seemed to have put the cart before the horse my friend.

    There is an owner operator section on here, might have better luck there.

    Check your pockets today, and in a few weeks. If you still have money in them, I guess you're doing OK.
