I would make more money as an owner operator if...

I'd rather be making 26% of $3.62 a barrel multiplied by a 130 barrel trailer for a one hour turnaround as a company driver working at Power Fuels than hauling cheap freight as an owner operator with the liability of a truck payment and paying for your own fuel.

 

I would make more if I was not so dam lazy.
I would make more if I did not have 3ex-wifes.
I would make more if I did not have 7 kids to support.
I would make more if I did not drink so much.
I would make more if I did not have so many toys.

 

If I Keep the truck parked in the yard....

 

Yes. seen this dude at Lake Station T/A with this black, green, and chrome extended hood with like 8" stacks, giant spoilers, etc.. I was walking across the street to get some Chinese, and I was thinking, " Man, how does that dude do it? " Well on the way back there were three federal marshal's putting the bracelets on him at the fuel island. He knew how to hot wire the pump and get fuel. The mistake he made was I guess it takes a little over 100 gallons to set off the tank leak alarm, and he stole just a little too much. He probably been doing it for years.

 

You almost had me till you said the federal marshall's swooped in and slapped the cuffs on that driver. Almost. Lol

 

Stealing fuel in multiple states would make it a federal matter haha

 

You're right. Never thought about it that way. I wonder what they do when they're not out here hassling truck drivers. Lol

 

Bus drivers are next in line. Followed by taxis.
Sometimes I hear about them prosecuting vending machines

 

True story it was marshal's that took him. Rig and trailer got towed.

 

Psh oh you KNOW what they do the rest of the time: they show up at scales and set DOT cops STRAIGHT when drivers try something they read on the internet and the diesel cops stop them
