    i have been searching the forums and internet for days trying to find a good company, here is my info, 7 yrs otr experience, 2005 freightliner, no trailer, clean mvr period, hazmat, recent military and tanker experience, i live in central florida, willing to be out 3 weeks at a time, im not interested in team.
    seems to me the average pay is around 90 cents a mile + fsc, at 2500 average miles a week, if you are having a good experience leased onto a good company, i would like to hear about it, i understand why people do not always want to share a good thing, i will be getting my own authority eventually, but starting in January i really need to get my feet wet, so to speak, any info would be appreciated, im sure this info would be very useful to others, lets try and keep on topic, thanks in advance.

    I think the closest thing to having your own Authority while being leased on to a company would be to be leased to Landstar from research I've done in the past.

    Not at all. Their authority. I'm signed up with them (not leased) and I've gotten loads of their loadboard.
