Freight is usually cheap and slow this time of year, but the fact is that companies aren't buying trucks and hiring drivers because they are afraid of overextending themselves. <br /><br />Right now is a great time to be an owner operator. Next year may be another story, but 2010 and 2011 were definite winners and 2012 is shaping up to be the same.<br /><br />I am answering this for Salena and I am saying that in the 16 going on 17 years I have been out here, I would only run my truck under either percentage or directly for a group of customers. <br /><br />The only way I would drive a company truck for a trucking company is if something went terribly wrong, I was extremely well paid with excellent benefits, or I was well taken care of and the job was just to keep me around the house. There are lots of good companies out there and lots of happy company drivers. It really depends on your personal situation.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-76644041419194242632012-03-10T13:38:08.495-04:002012-03-10T13:38:08.495-04:00Thank you, Salena!!!

Do you have any thoughts/advice for or against that?Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945416579363731161noreply@blogger.com
