I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW WHAT YOUR ASKING.....
TRUCK DRIVERS ,OWNER OPERATORS.
I was but between the fuel prices and all the new regulations coming i got out. Freight prices just aren't where they need to be to go out and buy a 130,000$ truck and a 40,000$ trailer. Not to mention the 10,000$ / year insurance bill.
Drove for them (OO's) for years..
watched what they went thru..
was enough to convince me not to do it.
Company driver is the way to do it nowadays man..
sold ours were within 10-12k of what we kept @ end of year as o/o for 10k year def NOT worth the stress been doing this 30 years it aint what it used to be jmo ==doh

yep, presents an issue w/DOT though.. no sleeper berth so log book issues come into play unless your strictly local.
I've heard they don't bothe you much aslong as you have a crewcab and a legit log book, a couple guys I know got burned bc they thought jus bc its a pickup truck they didn't need a log book, I told em dot don't give a p00 if its a minivan, your drive time has to be logged, just like all of the ctx guys they are the same way, running expedites n what not, they have to have logbooks don't matter if they have 1 Bolt or a full van it has to be logged, im thinking about going the ctx route, just gotta find a good deal on a e350 with a 7.3 with a 12ft cargo space
