    I am an owner op, I pull a dry van, recently market has crashed so bad that I am thinking of taking some time off. Before last few weeks I was averaging $1.80-$1.99 per mile on all miles, last couple weeks rates are around $1.40-$1.50 per mile, with these rates might as well drive a company truck and make almost as much as owner op.
    Question for all owner ops, what rates you guys getting? My dispatch has been telling that market should pick up for past 2 months, and all I see is market going down. I honestly think the reason is, that there are too many drivers out there, especially big fleet drivers, they pay their drivers around 30 cents a mile so they book any load they can get for any rate. (30 cents I would never drive truck, I can just find a job near home and make as much and be home every night, I honestly don't get drivers that drive for big companies that pay them ####)

    I'm not qualified to work there. I told them I am a truck driver and they laughed at me and said you are too stupid to work here, dumb truck driver.

    Yeah it might appear that way seeing as I'm still a big boy. I'm down from 450 to 375 I always get a diet coke with my double cheeseburgers and xl fries. I guess they didn't like it when I asked if they will have another employee help me wipe my own ### because I haven't been able to reach it ever since I started driving truck 6 months ago.
