Nice; my dad does the same thing -- he's working for McLane in Texas right now but wants to get his own rig again and take on heavy load jobs -- he was OTR for like 20 years.

It's funny; my dad works 2 days a week and makes damn near what I make; I make damn good money with an MBA.

You are truly clueless ...

Wow ... and an atypical uniformed reply from someone that knows nothing about the industry .

As an Owner-Operator I am my own boss and responsible for managing  my own business expenses . By the way my net income over the past 4 yrs . Has averaged $160,000.00 , that is after all of my expenses to include taxes .

Some folks aren't afraid to work hard and get dirty doing So.
Try wiping your ASS some somtimes with out Toilet Paper .

I'll leave the name calling to others. ?....Geeeezzzz

I love it! I knew that'd get a rise out of you!

I'm just busting your balls.

I work with owner operators every day, in addition to company drivers. I'm on an operations team at a fuel distribution terminal. Truck drivers is 70 percent of my job.
Which means I know how full of s*** alot of you are. Lmao

I took his comment as a jest.  But to swamp rats point.... there is a huge differance between owner operators.  Truck drivers steering wheel holders and seat warmers.. 

As a general rule the owner operators give a damn about what they do and how there truck looks and runs.   There are also truck drives that do care to.. but i have know some people that didnt care what they drove. If it was a 80's cab over but they could make an extra 50 cents an hour they wouod drive it.  To me that is stupid considering the amount of time we spend in the semis
