    I have been a O/O for the last ten years. I was leased on with a company out of omaha, ne. Last year, i was there for 4years making good money 6000 week gross and 3400 net average.last year company sold out to a Romanian outfit.every thing changed for the worst. I quit after they took over after 3months of new ownership. Sents then I have worked for 3 different companys as O/O.all have been Foreigner owned.now im not prejudice but I just can't make any money with these companies.last company dispatchers were trying to dispatch me for Bosnia.lots of times I didnt understand what the hell they were saying .I have never worked for a larger carrier(swift,cr England ect)an never will. What im asking advice on is there any small company that are American own and run anymore? If you know of a good company please let me know. Im about to give up trucking if i cant find one. Tired of lies and being screwed out of my money. I am 52yrs old an been a o/o for over 10yrs.i do have 3points on my record for not being on the truck route. Scam it was coming out of al into miss. Al.was truck route as soon as I crossed state line into Mississippi it turned into no trucks and county cop sitting their waiting. Already had two other trucks pulled over. After he wrote me up two more trucks came in. Anyway I just need a good company to lease on with. Any help is appreciated .If not i have a 2014 pete (300)in wheelbase for sale. Thanks again brothers and be safe.
