    Im going to take a guess here. Your info says your a truckers wife, so im guessing hubby is with a big carrier and got you to thinking that owing a truck would be a good idea so he could be home more or you just dont like him being gone and am trying to set something up for him?

    It doesn't matter if it 1099 or not but $18/19 an hour is a good starting point.

    I'm planning on getting but I read how hard it is to get a job.
    OTR, doesn't matter for how long, if someone needs a partner and/or worker we can figure something out

    I've seen an ad in a newspaper - a company seeking owner operator paying $1.50 a mile, if I'm not wrong, is it good pay?
