Message:: [QUOTE="mikesouthbend2, post: 8259811, member: 71486"]I think you listed some of the “benefits” like not looking for a load but also I believe if you sign onto a company they pay your license plate and take out so much a week and give you a fuel card then just reduce your settlement. Basically just like you get what you pay for you get paid by the amount of work and investment you put into your company. So in my eyes someone paying my plate and charging me a fee or finding me a load that I probably don’t want anyway isn’t a benefit it’s exactly why I have my own authority. I guess at the end of the day you have to decide how much time and money of your own you want to invest and this should dictate to you if you are company driver, owner operator leased to a giant company, owner operator leased to a very small outfit, or just put your name on the door and have no one to blame but yourself. Well I guess you can still blame Obama, Trump, and of course the brokers! Sorry I wrote so much but it all starts with a persons mentality in my opinion and that should ultimately determine what is beneficial and best for them. Good luck to all![/QUOTE]
