I think that's a good way to put it. I don't doubt your success or Roadmedic either for that matter. If I could do things over I would have gone...

Guessing they are looking for someone to become a LS truck, but the decisions will be made at the Home Office on approval. They could be looking...
That looks like the Agent's website. A LS agent is like a Freight Broker using LS's Broker authority and bond. Sort of lick a OO that signs on to...
Your in a tough spot. A pickup is the worst kind of truck to make it with. I started in one back in 2004 pulling super light weight enclosed...

What did the other companies tell you they wanted 2 year? 3 or 5+ I am guessing 2+years opens some options..... and 5+ even more...... I think...
Misesian you just started as a O/O. How long did you drive as a company driver?
Say we are talking general legal freight on a van of flatbed. Cost and reasonable profit for a Independent O/O for one tuck is about 1.85 to 2.00...
In your position I would not rashly make any decisions about jumping ship. I would be looking at my bottom line weekly and monthly though. If you...
What load load Board? I am not seeing but 2/3 loads on IT at the 2.50 level. Is he using something like LS internal board for their BOC's?

Is it really that cheap???? I don't do van or refer but he is paying 28% to the carrier. So his AR to Toledo run at 1.566 PM ttt has a gross rate...
