    Prime team O/O lease purchase...no guarantee on miles, responsible for all usual things as an o/o. told they bring home $3-5K net per week, after expenses, but before buying med insurance, etc.

    US Xpress team company driver .50 per mile, guaranteed 4700 miles week with probably more available. so that would bring home about $2350 week not including taxes and cost of insurance.

    which would you choose?

    Emission controls on new trucks are a nightmare, you don't want to own or lease a truck at the current time.

    And rah rah, me again - why not ODFL for .56-.66cpm . . . skerrd of doubles?

    And my nosey skills put you in NE OK, close to Parsons, KS where we're screaming for teams.

    But also that you have less than 1 year experience, but if you're close to that, I'd apply.

    In this case there's no such thing or any future in PRIME time.
    steer well clear of that dodgy program. You will be BROKE in no time.
    US Xpress is your best bet.
