    After reading the last couple of posts here I can honestly sre why yall are always haulin tall.. or maybe it's because I can only go 65?... seriously though I've been looking to get more into an owner operator role, does Malone use fuel cards coming out your settlement or do you pay for fuel yourselfs? And I'm assuming the equipment is the standard gold with white wheels flatbed with a headboard? I've saw a couple here and there with lonestars t660s. As I say this im sitting on my $1.21 load because "that's the best we have"

    Fuel comes out of your settlement. You'll be issued approximately 50 cents a loaded mile for fuel. They don't pay deadhead but you should always have enough 50 cents per mile is plenty

    My fuel cost right now is .26 cpm so yea that's plenty I have a cascadia at prime. You use 1 trailer all the time? Does it have side boxes? As I stated before I know they put headboards on their trailers so there isn't much room for equipment

    Yes one sidebox on the trailer. I've got plenty of room for what I carry. Yes, we are married to our trailers I pay $185 a week and it's covered bumper to bumper by them for maintenance. Not sure if the trailer rent is the same now or not.

    Only have room for about 12 3-8 inch chains in that head board. Sounds like you'll be set just need pipe stakes.

    I have those too but I haven't ever used them. I'm thinking either crst malone or Jones motor

    I appreciate it. I'm just weighing my options I'm at prime now and this place frieght wise is awful right now. And I have two dogs I'm not willing to part ways with so I have to do another lease. And actually looking to buy this time
