    You really think there gonna allow that
    Information to be public.
    It's the only way they can keep the next
    Group of suckers coming in.

    I can tell you where you can find data on successful owner ops at carriers. The carriers web sites. But as you know, you wont find data on failed O/Os there. They ain't releasin' that. :eek:

    I understand your question & I know in all seriousness, you're looking for info but, because its a privately held company, they ain't gonna release that info anywhere. In short, it ain't out there.

    It doesn't make a difference.
    Both fail percentages are way higher
    Then they'll ever admit too.

    Just read this forum.
    It's failure after failure of new people
    Leasing or buying a truck.

    It's the old timers who actually have some real
    Money in the bank who make it work.

    I'm not picking on you or trying to make you look bad but your question doesn't make sense to me. A piece of equipment that fails, isn't going to generate revenue. We'll unless you're the mechanic. That's the only person that's going to profit from a failed piece of equipment.

    Seriously, I am not trying to make you look bad, I just want to understand your question. Every post seems to have a different meaning or confusion... at least to me.

    You can find it right here on TTR, or conversations at the truck stop. Here is your data: most people are failing or have failed. Profit margin is thin and majority of people started with no money. They come here looking for validation instead of answers. Folks think it's a method to get rich quick, but they never look at the money spent, nor do they look at it as a business
