    I am really disappointed in Ontario....But the AUTO Club and the Ont Trucking Association backed this crap...Auto club I understand but the Association? Brokers get the load there before company drivers I guess...so they felt they had to level the playing field.....Bull Crap!

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    LDB said.."You can find a position as a solo but it will be more challenging since a team can generate more revenue for an owner in the same truck investment." Be very careful here...unrelated team members(where you split 50/50 with another). Can actually make LESS $$$ then a single driver...
