    I'm still with the company, and so far have no plans or intentions to go elsewhere. I'm not big on that fmcsa thing, but i never had problems on scales, since i work here, and that tells me they are O.K. (its all i need to know)

    Hey jack hope you are doing well with this company what would you say you are getting as far money if you compare 82 percent vs. Cpm. As this 82 percent includes fuel surgecharge.

    82 percent all in. My personal opinion (this is just my opinion and personal experience based thought) the percentage pay is the most fair model for owner operators, so you can take advantage of all the tools of the industry, such as rising fuel price most of the time jacks freight rates up (here's your fuel surcharge), same with seasonal industry demands and is the most up to date. I only worked for a pay per mile based carriers twice and i ended up making less money, because they usually pay really low per mile and sell you the idea of you being covered by fuel surcharge, and that's my friend is the biggest scam because you will get it only for loaded "short" miles, so the $0.45/mile fuel surcharge is actually only $0.35/mile so if you are getting $1-$1.10 per mile plus fuel surcharge you will be at $1.35-$1.45/mile (actual miles). With percentage pay you will only be this low a few weeks a year.

    Still here ,- still running strong. As I always say if it works for me it may not work for you. We all have different plans in life and expectations.
    The best dispatch team I ever dealt with. You work with them, they will work with you.
    I worked with Landstar before,- to many hidden fees and charges comparing to Voyager. Other than that almost same thing just smaller and more flexible.
    Good luck to you.
