    well my first two weeks as an O/O operating under my own authority are in the books. $1.98 for all miles driven from front door back to the front door. I will take that with no complaints.

    Good to hear. Do you have direct shippers or haul all broker freight?

    Good deal, what kind of trailer are you pulling. I'm about a week away from rolling out the front door on my own as well. Good luck!

    Im thinking about doing a lease option to buy at the end of the lease. Good way or bad way to go. And who is the best company to hook up with. A lot of truking companies these do the lease thing.

    Do you have a commitment time wise to haul outbound freight for your direct shipper ? In other words, is your outbound load every Monday for instance, or can you just call them when you're available to load ?
