    SPLIT AND A TERRIBLE OWNER-OPERATOR AGREEMENT

    Ark... Many drivers, when given the choice, choose to take the 60%+fsc. IMO, this helps both the owner and driver. It helps the owner whos truck isn't being idled or deadheaded needlessly. The driver also tends to be more interested in noises and actions the truck may make, since it usually will...

    Things I have seen on the road (sort of)

    Greg... your stories sound great when I imagine Andy Rooney reading them. :7 I couldn't imagine standing in a restroom to check if drivers close the door to pee. It usually smells so bad in there, I have to cover my mouth to keep from puking. :o I always wonder what Flying J puts into their...

    SPLIT AND A TERRIBLE OWNER-OPERATOR AGREEMENT

    An 85/15 or 90/10 sounds like a lease/purchase deal. Were you buying this truck? Unless you were expecting a truck after a certain amount of time, this definitely was the shaft. Curious... was the $535 per week or month? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Drivers want to go to 18% from 20%

I make a few bucks less, but in the long run it all evens out. He pays tolls, and recently even paid the fuel tax which I expected to pay. I would...

    Home For The Holidays?

    I'm going to be home trying to get my new son to catch a football. LOL I posted a thread about Logan in the Loading Dock. He looks nothing like his daddy, cept for his huge shoulders, hands, and feet! ;) I'll head out again after the first of the year. Gotta make good money this year, as...

    Personal attacks

    It's been said a few times that ppl are more likely to post about a negative event than a positive one. I think the negative posts need to be read tho, as they do tell a story or two about different carriers or circumstances that could help in the long run. This site, as 99% of the sites out...

    Which company actually cares about good drivers?

    RE: Which company actually cares about good driver I don't know about the Warren Buffet thing... ;) Can a person become an expert in a field when they read everything there is on the subject? I don't buy it. There's more of a relationship between expert and experience than just the first 5...
