just because they pay crap to the O/O doesn't mean they haul cheap, just pay cheap. Though I suspect you are probably correct.

no offence to you, but it is this exact mentality that will keep this industry in the crapper forever.

If it costs $0.45 per mile just to pay for fuel, then the rate should be MINIMUM $1.35 per mile just to break even. At $0.85 per mile plus a FSC that is likely around $0.25 per mile, that's still $0.25 per mile too low. Just to break even.

And that's assuming a decent amount of miles per week.

Notice how quickly there was an extra $0.07 per mile available? I'm guessing there's a whole lot more than that.

How about if I just stay home and send you a $500 check every week? I won't go broke as fast that way.
