    I recently received call from company that offered options to both lease truck and trailers just for $800 a week this includes Insurance apparently.:)

    They told me they will withhold two-week pay.
    And they will provide the fuel card . And I can pick and choose whatever load I want and where I want to go.

    And they say I can make up to $9,000 to $15,000 thousand a week.
    What I want to know is if this can be realistic in owner operator or are they playing me for a fool just using me paying for their truck and I'm getting pay equivalent to company driver while I'm paying for the equipment. Interesting they also say if truck broke down they will take care of it which makes no sense to me.

    You're wasting your time if you're not doing 25k/week

    I like how the starting number is $9k. Was it a company from Chicago by chance?

    I would not even start the truck for 25k per week. I am the best I demand the best I want 100k a week or it is a no go!

    It is a scam guys, many owners will dump bad trucks onto people, take money from them for maintenance and leave them penniless.
