Well I don't know about this wanna be OO stuff but I think it's more of a way for these ""baby"" driver types that want to run leased on to a mega carrier for 85 cents a mile to justify why they can't be a real OO . Also trying to justify being a glorified company driver by jumping every time their leased on company barks for them to do some-thing ??? They feel like they need this company to be leased on to so that this company can tell them what to do n what to haul n for how much and where to because they can't make those decisions theirselves ?? I'd rather just be a everyday company driver without worrying about trying to believe that I could maintain a truck on 85 cents a mile these days and even try to make as much as that company driver makeing 50 cents a mile with no expenses ???? Thats ""IF"" they get a decent FSC in the first place ???

I feel to many people just say ok to the company on the 1st offher, and don't do any negotiating. Tha company I'm looking at was at 68% of the load,FSC when they get it and no toll money. pulling their van. After talking to them,long story short. I have them up too, 75% of the load, a $1.00 amile dead head North Jersey to PA,100% of the FSC that they get from the two companys and a % of the tolls. That realy works for me is it;s a dedicated run.Right now they are slow,like alot of others. They will pick up again in the next month.
