    How about .85 all miles (plus fsc) and they pay EVERYTHING else?

    They sound more like OWNED operators in my opinion...

    .85 cents per mile for a company driver, not bad.

    If Company drivers started off at 0.85, no one would have any problems now would we? We will be dealing with such soul stealing problems such as too tired to spend any money during payroll celebrations.

    I should take the 0.85 and bill the company that holds authority for everything. I mean EVERYTHING. It's legit last I heard. Nothing illegal about it.

    Trucking companies hire lease operators and OO for 1 reason. To increase their PROFIT MARGINS and they do that by treating you like a company driver. Without the benefits , keeping you on their reservation. You stray off of it they lose control.

    Stevens is not the best among mega companies, but I managed to make it work when I was there. If you survive there, and then leave, you will be more prepared than most folks as you’ve been carrying a 100-lb turtle shell on your back the whole time you were there. (Yes, a reference to DBZ).
