I would assume people give their trucks up and want to drive for someone else....
Don't think I'd hire an Ex owner.....
Darn, OVM, I was depending on you to take care of me when I go broke!! Layoutshooter
ex owners are too bossy....had it their way for too long..they'd be constantly telling me how to do things and yet they were the ones that went under....DOH!!!

You won't go broke. You can always go be a mercenary....

There was a guy like that at E-1 a couple years ago. He lost his trucks, so he started driving for a cargo van owner. I saw him in dispatch 2 different times babbling about how they should be doing their job. He called his the van owner about all kinds of dumb s**t...didn't last too long.

Have to disagree with you OVM. Know a very sweet couple that had 3 trucks. They ended up losing the trucks when firstly they could not get good drivers in the two they weren't driving and secondly when the economy went in the tank. Guess it isn't that easy to find good drivers that will stay out for weeks/months at a time and take care of the truck. Don't know that from first hand knowledge but from talking to truck owners that is what I get from them. This couple now drives a truck for an owner and are excellent drivers.

I usually drive the "all night" shift and what I've noticed is that there are a lot less trucks on the road at night than this time last year. Maybe it's because they are all parked at night instead of driving now, or maybe most of them have just slowed down and aren't all passing me now. lol
