U.S. Express

So I've been trucking for just shy of ten years. I was at loves in Jeffersonville, OH last week getting some work done on my rig and ran into a bunch of nice drivers. One driver was an O/O and has been for a very long time and has done many lease options every couple years (I'm assuming to cycle trucks). He made it sound very very tempting to try. Yes i do have kids, no I don't mind being out and back on the weekends (more regional style) and i do have experience in many areas of the trucking industry. So really my question is who has done it and what was the process like for you?
I'd be out of columbus, oh.

Thanks guys and gals, stay safe!

 

Lol i was waiting for that response. Im a dedicated driver with VL but I get so dang bored driving the same thing everyday. The only plus side, that i can think of, is having my own truck in 4 years while having the discounts and fuel surplus.
Are you O/O or C/D?

 

My problem is when i came out of doing oilfield trucking I was in a bad spot (mentally) and bounced around a bit because of promised green pastures and glitter and .
Needless to say I did it to myself and hob hopped to much and it seems to be harder to get the good jobs. And i understand, no one wants to invest into someone for them to quit 10 months later.

 

Owe i most definitely believe you on that lol. I expect it. But the want to do my own loads and run how i want has been a good thought.

 

It's hard lol ahhh sigh. Stupid trucking lol. I guess i just to make more and have some freedom to do other runs. I don't want to be gone all the time just like 3 days a month every once in a while.
