    Best of luck to you...especialy in these times I dont believe i would lease on to a company that has company trucks as they will run before you do...I hope I am wrong for your sake...I will becoming an O\O in April but will be working for an all O\O company ...Dont like the idea of competing with company trucks for loads.

    Well what I seen and been told along with experiencing Here the O/O get first take on loads. As a Company Driver I never sat much, and it's even better now leased onto them. If it was not so I would not have leased on here.

    Well I still not gotten my first full week pay yet for 3700 miles but I am guessing around or little over 2000.00 in pay after fuel. This week not as good so far 1100 miles and dispatched on another 1100 mile run and will have one more before the end of the pay cycle.

    Do you know how many miles a week your "model" requires? I would think 3000 or more miles would be outstanding!

    But, 2k after fuel sounds a little low for 3700. That's a little over 50 cents a mile and you still have to pay maintenance, repairs, insurance and truck payments right?

    They take money out for maintenance escrow, insurance. So All i have to pay is truck payment.
