    That sounds like something from the mega fleece purchase plans to trick naive young drivers into thinking they are an O/O. When in reality they have signed on with the devil.

    I'm not trying to argue or insult you. But some of the numbers and ideas you are spouting here are pretty insulting to me. I know exactly what it costs me to operate per mile. I'd go broke inside of 1 - 2 yrs trying to make it off 34%.

    Oh,. .and you want me to pay into an escrow account for repairs to my truck that I own? No sir,.. that is a slap in the face. If I cant afford to repair my own truck,.. then I do not have any business being an O/O.

    I don't gain anything from that account. Everything is yours. You need to understand better. I'm not out to rob anyone. There is a lot to consider when bringing on O/Os. Nothing is set in stone. I'm not here to argue I'm here to get advice. I guess if anyone is interested in talking more find me on facebook. Thank you.

    A millennial thinking the industry has been wrong the whole time. But this dog and pony show has been played out for decades, you read about these companies every Friday morning from the TTR, F2F comes to mind. I could be wrong, so I'll give this gentleman the benefit of the doubt.
