    My apologies if I came off as a grammar Nazi. I'm not. I'm sorry I came off that way. I try to be a positive member on here.

    My point was that when posting helpful information about companies please take the time to make it readable. The orginal post was like deciphering code.

    Wow you mean I can earn a whole 88 cents per mile while leasing a truck and pretending to be an owner operator and my own boss? Where do I sign up?

    There use to be a Company out of Fort Scott KS. Way back in the 1980's, that burned alot of drivers with that (lease) deal, and from what I heard to FED'S finally shut them down. I think their name was Midwestern Distribution and they pulled a lot of (Lease-way) trailers.

    It was Midwestern Distribution. Their slogan was "A Buck For A Truck" All it took was one dollar to get you an ugly cabover Freightliner, with as best I can remember, a neon colored stripe across the front and down the sides. Ran with one of their guys one night. His co-driver quit on him, but the company was still dispatching him as a team, as that was what they wanted driving. He was trying to get a load close enough to the terminal to leave the truck.
