Yes it would definitely be a slip seating arrangement. They can’t have an asset just sitting around for days or weeks on end waiting for some...
You are correct. But I was curious about employee positions. As an owner operator you still have fixed expenses that must be covered each month....
I actually worked for driver staffing company back in 1996. It worked OK but the pay was too low. I didn’t mind at the time because I was in...
No I’m an owner op. Just curious what’s out there nowadays.

Brother I’m just gonna have to admit I don’t know what you’re talking about. I quoted $.46 FSC because that’s what you quoted. $2.51 per mile and...
