    I dont/cant believe this story!! How can you be behind $34k?? If thats the case, that means you were ONCE ahead $34k since you said:
    A little advice, leave the cash advances alone!! Only in the trucking industry (maybe a few others) do the workers get to borrow from future earnings...............

    It is amazing that some people ask for help and when you ask them to tell a little bit about where they work and if they own or lease the truck they can't even respond. Why do they bother with asking?

    Wow, I see so many stories on here and talked to so many people that say o/o make just a few thousand dollars (or negative like this one) for all the hard work they put in. Why would anyone do it? Is this always the case? Is anyone making real money as an o/o? Really deters me from getting my own truck.

    It used to be an O/O could make a very comfortable living running his/her own truck, and there are some that still do. Others may not profit much more than company drivers after all their expenses, but prefer the greater freedoms that come with running their own truck.

    Me, I'd rather run as a company driver and let the company deal with all the BS that goes with running a truck (fuel, maintainence, and so on) while I run down the road earning money without a care in the world. I may not make as much as an O/O, but my expenses are far less.

    Everything that needs to be said, has been said. Yet, there is no response. So I feel like the others that this is just a made up story. Like Big Foot, Loche Ness monster, and truckers who don't pee in a bottle.
