    hello everyone! i came off the road in 2005 and started driving for UPS. things had been going pretty good for a while, then the bottom fell out. things slowed down and now they are considering sending some drivers into other positions that require a drastic pay cut! i'm thinking about buying another truck and trying to find a company to lease on to. are there any good companies out there to lease on to? is it even worth it with fuel being as high as it is? can anyone help me? lol

    Fuel isn't the issue right now.

    Freight is.

    And they quit cutting throats about 6 months ago, and starting cutting limbs off.

    Maybe some of the O/O can weigh in and shed some more light on this for you.
