<p>[QUOTE="haulit6272, post: 8475852, member: 221210"]If that means the driver owns the truck, and FedEx and Landstar are paying them not only to drive it, but leasing it in order to treat the truck as if it's their own, dictating everyplace it goes and when, I think I like that idea. You have two sources of income stream, as long as you like the runs they give you, and it would make sense to me that since they're paying for the use of the truck, they aren't going to leave it sitting idle such that they aren't making money and you aren't either. On the other hand, they could run you ragged and deny you the days off you need for rest, dental or dr. appts, family emergencies, etc., claiming, "We're paying for that truck and it moves when we say it moves." The phrase "double-edged sword" comes to mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
