Where is the MONEY at? OTR vs Oilfield? What’s the concensus?

and besides if I go a year without killing anybody I get a sweatshirt

 

yep you're right about that I usually do the loads that don't get that far .. they have agents that rarely deal with bcos and they are cheap cut rate bastars

 

all the money's in the bank or at Fort Knox

 

Cool , as long as he's good with making less money for no reason reason other than not wanting to do the paperwork.

 

Everybody loves LS until they get a couple csa points then LS has those guys walking on SHARP eggshells... Being leased to LS is like having TQL as your main customer. Guilty until proven innocent, then once proven innocent... still guilty! Lolllll

But to original poster , LS is a great stepping stone in my opinion.

And to mr buckeye, the only benefit I’d see at LS with your situation is You can hang at home with no/minimal insurance cost. It’s funny how everybody says they love being leased to LS but when that Jacksonville area code calls they still shake in their boots. LS has 0 loyalty to their in house BCO’s , they rather replace you with a new guy that still has his arrow truck sales mudflaps on because he has a lower csa score... for now

To each his own. I will not try to sell it either way unless asked to

 

I'm sure he knows that and it's his choice to make. No one else has the right to tell him otherwise. Getting your own authority isn't for everyone just like leasing on to a carrier isn't for everyone. The only right way is the way one chooses to run their business.

 

I do know what you are talking about they cancel you first then ask questions

 

Good point sir

 

Go on your own, you get 100% of what the broker gives you.

Brokers, 3pl’s and logistics company’s are a free service that pass 100% of what their customers pay straight to their carriers.

 

After 6 years in Williston I'm still driving company. Their truck is their expense and I don't have the headaches. But still good money and some freedom to come and go. At 6 months I say you drive and learn it all before that commitment. If you're younger you have the time anyway. I pull chemical cause frac needs it without sitting stuck on lease roads like water or sand. Maybe you pull oil from site cause it's got to move too. Take your time and learn it all then figure your financials for a truck.
