Greatwide has terminals all over the USA.

 

I am currently with Greatwide.... looking at landstar and schiender myself..

 

Benefits for O/O are likely not provided. Some of the larger companies have programs that can get you a better rate but from what I have seen it is typically the big mileage based companies. You can likely net better with better pay and still having to pay a little more for insurance.

 

is he an O/O cuz it sounds like he's a L/O. and the companies he wants to work for. and the pay that he's working for.

if he owned his truck. why consider the megas, he mentioned landstar but he needs to own his truck. if he owned his truck. wouldn't landstar and mercer be better then schneider and prime?

you know how a L/O always gets confused with the term O/O.

 

Scheinder choice program is pretty good from what I hear.. got 2 friends running it.. They do pretty good..

 

L/O makes it sound like your leasing the truck.

I am going to "lease" on with landstar shortly but i will be "operatong" the truck I "Own" theirfore I'm an o/o. It doesnt matter if I have my own authority or not. I'm still an O/O (or will be in 2 weeks)

I decided on landstar since you can choose your own freight, were you want to go, what you will haul etc. I can also get home whenever i want, and choose lighter freight if i want. Physical damage insurance is pretty cheap through them as well. (1000/year for a 25,000 dollar truck)

 

Why does it sound like he leases is truck, it sounds like he owns it

 

Swift doesn't have a very good reputation.
I don't know who to recommend, but tanker companies often pay better than other types of freight. I know a guy with shwerman (?) . He told me he is averaging $1.67/ mile all miles. That includes all pay.
