How is being gone 3 - 6 weeks considered "frequent home time"? How is being gone 3 - 6 weeks "family friendly"? Family is too important to just get 5 days vacation, but not important enough for you to be home with them more than every 3rd week? |

I drive for an O/O leased on with OIX. I made plenty last year, with 3 weeks paid vacation and full benefits. Home every 7-10 days with 2 days off and lots of flexibility. Now this didn't happen over night and not all O/O are the same. Takes some intelligent negotiation at times to get what you want. There's a lot of companies I see mentioned on this board that I wouldn't want any part of, but I've been on the road for almost 20 years. :wink:

Heck driving for an O/O is like having one foot in the coffin, might as well go ahead and buy that large car for yourself. At least you get to go fast. Seriously, if you are happy that is all that counts. |
You can't understand why someone would drive for an O/O but you would drive for KLLM? I have all the benefits that most major companies offer including 401k. Does KLLM give you a choice of loads and no forced dispatch? I run where I want when I want. Sure I could buy my own truck, but it wouldn't make much sense given I clear almost as much as an O/O without the headaches.
Keep your eye open for that better than KLLM job. Gonna be hard to beat a company like that. :lol: |

What movtivates someone to go buy a 100k plus truck, and LEASE it to a company for 90 cents a mile and not make anything but drivers' wages at the end of the year. Hell, most of the O/O's out there are riding around on tires so slick they look like a nascar tire and are bumming a cig off a company driver at the dock to boot. |
