    oh...i took it by your original posting, you already HAD your own truck...

    you...
    so in all reality, you are going to be a lease operator..

    good luck, you're getting a camera. you got nothing to say about it.

    and that "average salary" is gross, NOT NET and maybe thier TOP performers...

    good luck

    So when you lease purchase you “own” your truck, right?

    you can turn in the truck for another and start paying all over again. or take ownership of the truck at lease end. there may be a balloon payment at lease end as well.

    You snookered us.
    Claiming to be a owner operator, when in
    Reality your just a fleece driver.
    They own everything. So it's either smile into
    The camera or pound sand.

    What company?

    Edit: Never mind, I found it. $1.45 per mile for "O/O" and HAZMAT seems silly to me, but I could be wrong. And you're not an O/O OP. Sorry...

    i always loved the "top performers salary" when they plug thier company.....

    they never tell you the low end, even that is "bumped up" or you'd be disappointed in even filling out the application.

    The NTSB has driver facing cameras on their Wish List among other things in store for the trucking industry. Lane change buzzers and front bumper anti tailgating radar and driving detection app mandatory installed on your phone to block cell phone use when you are driving.

    All this is coming down the pike because truck drivers refuse to run safely and professionally. Taking huge risks with 80,000 pound equipment just to get ahead of the next pocket of traffic. Just filmed a major wreck cleanup and not a couple miles after it , here comes super trucker and almost made another major crash.
