","text":"im not an owner operators myself but what i do seem to know is that they got paid much better than company drivers. and most owner operators owns their own trucks so technically they can sleep in their own bed. for example, company drivers must work monday -friday but with owner operators, they can work whenever they want. The whole company drivers is just my opinion tbh but i think every truck driver would be getting affected by this if it does pass ","replyToPid":146638}

{"replyTo":"","text":"we get paid much better cause we have to pay for everything. maintenance break downs fuel tires insurance registration quarterly fuel taxes and the list goes on and on. I have some weeks that if I was a company driver I would be making out better. if my truck goes in a shop for a long period of time I'm outta work where company drivers can just jump in another truck and keep on going. yes we make the big money but we have the big bills to go with it","replyToPid":0}

You might enjoy your 15 bucks for a few months until you start paying $26 for a value meal and $6.50 for a gallon of milk. Then you’ll be crying for another “raise”. Get skilled work hard and earn better pay. Minimum wage is for the half asses that are unreliable at best.","replyToPid":0}
