    it was not so much of being afraid that led me to go local, It just suited me best. I was ready to bite the bullet and go with schneider regional/intermoal but found this job.
    don't worry it's between us, trust me I would like a brake from being home haha.

    yes that's it. I believe O/O get the best out of it. especially if you have your own authority. yes you can make money being leased to a company that runs good but in the long run having your own authority is best. that's my .2 cents.

    Well then yeah I'd agree, however this guy is looking for his first job in the industry, not going into an o/o position other than being offered a 1099
