Im staying put where I’m at right now. I’m not putting my house at risk to go O/O, especially when I refinanced when the interest rates bottomed out. I park at hone with a few that pull containers as well, and have told me it’s bad there as well.
my thought is if you aren't supporting a family its a good time as if you make it then you will be set when the rates pick back up and you can be done paying for your truck. will it be tough yes but starting any business is hard the 1st 3 years as you learn how to run company to make money. IMO
I have been thinking that... We are really busy and have orders and quotes out of nowhere, but this stuff, the supply, lags. I dont see people BUYING much at this time, they are waiting on many purchases and that is going to catch up with the supply.
It's just common sense say freight is paying 1.50 a mile but gas is 4.00 dollars a gallon you wouldn't be making nothing you would be in the hole I would rather have my own truck but you can make the money being a company driver as well just have to push the miles and stay out of the truck stop
@@BigTrucking You are correct Sir. I was referring to being an Owner Operator. I have no doubt that you could make as an Owner Operator. You have the smarts and great work habits .
Lease purchase sucks but I’m staying with it till the wheels fall off.
motor problems cost a lot of money like 30,000 $ real fast
Yep
if the subject takes 5 minutes to get across then 5 minutes if it takes 45 minutes and good subject then take 45 minutes
Thanks

They need to check with Oakley Trucking. Paperboy seems to be doing well..
Paperboy is buying his truck and had to go through a third party. Oakley doesn't lease trucks as far as I know. You have to bring your own

Okay if you had the option would you do they pay maverick is giving you or would you drive for 27% of the linehaul.
I have that option. There is a flatbed company not far from me that pays that. My son works for them. I choose to stay at Maverick.

What about reefer? They say even in a down economy, we all have to eat still.
You would think that, but if the company is just seating drivers, that's less loads for everyone.
