    Paloma give us a little insight what a guy can make as a owner whats the scoop? Does a guy just go buy a truck and then sign on to Interstate and use their insurance and plates and fuel card and then make pay?

    Interstate doesnt offer a Lease/Purchase program .. So you would have to come in with yer own truck.

    They have different modles for Owner/Op

    1. Lease onto with Interstates Authority (thats what I do)
    2. Lease onto Interstate with your own Authority.

    Using Interstate's Authority:
    You pay Unladed Bobtail Insurance, Workmens Comp, Qualcomm and Fuel. It all comes out of your weekly settlement.

    Insurance: $7.38 a week
    Workmens Comp (Oregon): $35.00 a week
    Qualcomm: $10.00 a week

    (Interstate pays the majority of truck insurance)

    Interstate pays you 67.5% of the Load PLUS 100% of Fuel Sur Charge.
    Also get .10 Cents off per Gallon Cash Price within the fueling Network (Pilot, Flying J)
    Interstate pays for Base Plates and all Permits

    After all expenses .. Your pay should be $1,300 - $2,000 a week.

    So if you have a truck payment like I do, 1 week pays the payment

    --------

    Your own Authority:

    You pay 100% of your Unladen Bobtail Insurance
    You pay 100% of Workmens Comp
    (Not sure if they use Qualcomm)
    You pay for Base Plates (not sure about permits)

    Interstate pays 77% or 80% of load PLUS 100% Fuel Sur Charge.
    77% for a 3 day settlement cycle
    80% for a 20 day settlement cycle

    so, been out for 4 weeks so far, requested 4 days off 2 weeks ago so they had a heads up. was supposed to be back in TN yesterday for home time but im sittin here in carlisle with no load... 2 days ago a planner tried to give me a load heading to SC for today and I told him I was supposed to be home today, he didn't even seem to know. Maybe these people don't communicate as well as I thought they did.

    yeah still here, I swapped over to midwest regional so Im home most weekends.
    In orientation we were told governed at 63... my truck seems to do more like 65, and I spoke with a guy that got one of the new kenworth 680's and he said his was set at like 68 so I guess it depends on the truck you get

    An ungoverned truck would be nice. Too bad we can't average over 61 mph per day. My truck was running at 61 top speed until last week when we had it in for PM service and the Freightliner guy updated the truck computer. Now it tops out at 66...but I'm not complaining.
