    I"m looking for a good, preferable small O/O company to lease onto. I have an older truck, it's an 01. But it's about 90% new if you know what I mean.

    What area of the country are you looking to run ? And is your home base Texas ?
    Do you have your own trailer ? Dry van or Refrigerated, Flat ?

    I wished I'd have looked around a little more. I've signed on with Risinger....I don't know if I'm gonna be able to run with a qual com tracking me 24/7. The whole idea just bugs me now that I'm signed on.

    I don't know. Maybe it will work out. Maybe it won't. Who knows.

    Risinger Brothers is a big mistake!!! Just like a fleet manager put it to me: "...Our main concern is the small fleet owner, the single owner operator, gets whatever is left...."
    And they will prove that to you everyday by asking you run local loads # 26.00 per hour, run 100 miles here and a 100 miles there, asking you for favors until you're blue in the face.
    My best week there was 2600 miles and I had to fight for it. 90% of the loads are over 43k pounds, mainly paper and recycled trash that you pick up at different dumps.
    The loads to Texas are all reserved. I couldn't buy a load to Texas.
    They love to keep you in the Chicago area, running and burning $3.36 + per gallon fuel. They offer a small fuel discount. THe last settlement I received, my avg was around 3.22 after their so called discount.
    I've already moved on before I went broke with them...It's like this, if you like burning you expensive drive and steer tires pulling 43k+ constantly, if you like to run local # 26.00 per hour, if you like to run 100 miles here and there until they can find you a better load, if you like to kiss your fleet manager's ###, so you can get a good load (600 miles avg), then go on and sign on with Risinger.

    Ive been with them for a little over a week now, and so far, it hasn't been too bad.. My logs aren't even close. But I'm working on that. As far as the short stuff, I guess you got a bad dispatcher, cause mine hasn't ran me anything under 500 miles. Most have been at least 1,000 runs.. But I expected that cause they don't go west of easterne nebraska... And even the Nebraska few and far between.
    And so far, out of 5 loads ive pulled, 4 of them have been drop and hook.
    And the fuel average your talking about... I think youve been fueling at the wrong places. They don't get discounts at every place that takes the comdata card. Pilot is where you get your biggest discounts.
    For example, I fueled up at the Pilot yesterday in Charleston Mo. the pump price was $3.08. I paid $2.669. That's .42 CPG off, which saved me over $100 on 272 gallons.
