","text":"Jimmy the insurance lady suggested I run under someone eles authority for one year.  Her answer to me that this  would allow me to establish more credential/experience as an O/O which in return I could get a better rate.  I told her I couldn't afford 20k yr so she offered this suggestion.","replyToPid":158821}

Er.  Leased to a small outfit.  Great company, had a good semi-dedicated run.  Things happened in my personal life ( nothing bad, just changed) and they couldn’t provide runs where I wanted to go\nSub-contracted to Prime.  Revenue is about the same as before.  Loads pay fractionally less, but I pay less for fuel through them.  Evens out.\nAs O/O, I can still turn down loads, and they get me where I want to go if I give them a week or so advance notice.\n\nDon’t know what vehicle requirements they have, though.  I’m running a couple late model Macs (16 & 17)","replyToPid":0}
