Where is everyone #3

yeah, its sort of like a very thin sliver or metal stuck in your skin, for some reason it just irritates the urine out of you. or somewhat like a hemorrhoid, just a pain in the rear. is that what ya mean??

 

Nail on the head.....

Got down to Liberal, so here for the night.

I just read tmc page for owner ops, I think I may have to switch. the part about "giving" me 1 day home for each week out really did the trick. that beats the heck out of my deal now, where I can take off as long as I want, it will keep me from getting lazy and not making money.

 

sittin at dukes in newcomerstown,oh dropping off a hay conditioner in the morning. the hay must be hot

 

So THEY tell you how long you go home for and when? I also think I'll stick to my pauper way of trucking, and being able to do what I want, when I want, and for as long as I want.
I feel the stick waving over my head every time I reply.........Been nice folks......

LOL I thought the thread was pretty funny also! I know a couple guys who are O/O there. My trainer when I started there was one, he did ok I guess, I just never understood why he stayed there when IMO you can go elsewhere and make more. Especially when you have your own trailer with the truck! He was I think bad with his money years ago and seemed like he was one of those guys who pays the minimum on everything when it comes to a payment and has to have the nicest stuff. Nice Pete but paid to much and he has to have a million plus on it now and probably just paid it off.... The truck I am buying this week is going to be bought in cash for 15K and is in better shape then his Pete was in 2010. I could ramble on and on about this topic but I don't want to get Martin's blood boiling again to go tell somebody again. LOL I am trying to keep you alive and present on this forum! I honestly could never ne an O/O there, company driver sure but not an O/O! Not enough freedom!

 

I guess there are different levels of O/O, even if you dont flease a truck? I couldn't handle being told what to do all the time.
I have heard of some companies not allowing pets in the O/O trucks too. It's MY truck, and I will do what I wish with it, I say.
Not for me, but I don't earn the big bucks neither apparently......

LOL I have never heard that but it is not really a surprise I guess. Some people are just that dumb!

 

Or just need their hand holding or bad record overlooking, so much, that they take the rules in stride. Then attempt to justify them on a weekly basis? Been my experience anyways, with the flease operators I have run with over the years that get told what to do, when to do it, and where to do it.

I almost went to Sammons on a L/P earlier this year when my job was slow as all..... Anyways I decided against it just because I always told myself I would never lease a truck, I would just save and buy and I did not want a newer emissions truck especially as my first truck! I don't think it would have worked in my favor!
