I'd like to welcome the Owner Operators to TSU.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or give advice. :)

I'm leased to a company, so I get paid whether the company does or not. I feel it's too risky nowdays to be truely independent with my own authority.

Last year it used to cost me about $900 for 600 gallons of fuel. Two weeks ago it cost me just over $1,400 for 616 gallons. :yikes: :wtf: :yikes:

does anyone know of a good flatbed company for o/o's

Mercer out of Louisville KY, But you have to have your own trailer. weekly pay, good freight, they have lots of condos and camper type trucks leased to them and they do a lot of military loads.

Also Fikes is not to shabby. I have friend leased to them and he is real happy.also weekly pay
they will not put you on if you have a non spread axle trailer. They don't like tandems.
Fikes does not do military loads.

Can't think of any others off hand, good hunting

thanx nitestar

I have been leased to Mercer and to CRST Malone. It's what convinced me that I needed to get my own authority. ;)
