The title of this post is a bit of an assumption. I called two LTL companies, YRC and Old Dominion, and both of them said that they don't allow owner-operators to drive their own trucks when working for them. This gave me the impression that probably most LTL companies don't allow owner-ops to drive for them.
Do most LTL companies only have company drivers and not allow owner-ops to drive for them? If so, why do most LTL companies only have company drivers and not allow owner-ops to drive for them?
If YRC and Old Dominion are the only LTL companies that only have company drivers, why won't YRC and Old Dominion allow owner-ops to drive for them?
Why do most LTLs not hire owner-operators?

Man when I teamed with Estes NOTHING made us madder then when we were due to head back to St. Louis for the weekend, in Phoenix, waiting on a load for hours and here comes Covenant dropping and hooking a set for KC. 1/2 hour later here comes Covenant again dropping and hooking going to Indy.
I don’t think it’s as bad now as it was then, but the explanation we always got was “we hafta pay those companies detention; we don’t you”.
