What's the best paying OO job?

I really think you’re going to have a difficult time with this. Namely because it sounds like you want to go the LP route. Rather than buying your own, then leasing it onto someone who can provide you access to more and higher paying freight.

I’m not sure what your net is at the moment. But many doing LP are not doing near the gross you’re getting. And they have truck payments much higher than you.

Sure there’s a trade. Fewer mechanical issues and better fuel economy. But those savings are quickly eaten by higher truck payments. And possibly lower revenue.

 

Your doing fine , pay the truck off and save money until than .

 

They have 20 drivers and 100 owner/operators. Owner/operators are not drivers.

I'm pretty sure I know the company you are talking about, they are not all that bad, there are worst and I know one of the warehouses most of the freight comes out of that they service.

I am not going to be nice about this but get over it, this is the norm, not the exception. There you can work with some of the management but try other places and you won't be happy with this attitude, like at LS. They won't hold your hand and I can tell you right NOW you are not ready for LS and how that system works.

You should be happy with 90%, all you are doing is hauling their trailer and nothing else. You are not doing the back office or chasing money.

I read this from the above quote - I am not ready.

A new truck still needs financial support, and a new truck won't fix your problems. Maybe learning how to run lean and handle finances will get you into a new truck but to assume your company will "cosign" is really why I am saying all of this.

 

Where I'm leased at I live off of brokered freight by choice and there's no hand holding. That's always feast or famine and right now is same ol January as any other January. It's not for everybody and I'm not a recruiter. I like what I'm doing when it's busy and not so much so when it's not. Sounds like where you're at has some established relationships to be pulling in a steady income like that. Not sure what your complaint is but everyone out here is crying over rates tanking.

 

Does this company allow for riders?
