Yep.... that's why owner-operators that start in our flatbed division quit fairly quickly. I did it for a couple of months and then switched back to dry van. A lot of guys went to Scottlyn (reefers); one guy went to Mercer ... I'm still at MacKinnon because I don't have my own trailer. Once I get it, I'll quit too. Of course first I have to decide what trailer to get: flatbed, stepdeck or maybe RGN. I'm leaning towards a 53 ft stepdeck with ramps...

Dad always told me "It takes all kinds" Guess that is True.
I never know what my pay is until I get my settlement,sure I have an idea,our loads are usually in the $3 a mile range,but I am never sure until I get my check.......really makes no difference in the end.

Well I suppose your case is a little diffrent.

You dont have to worry about your company booking $1.00 per mile broker loads and you getting
70% (No No) The only time I have ever worked on percentage was pulling a flatbed. The company I was leased to was good at this,therefore I refused to pull any load unless I knew what I was being paid.
