Anywho I'm still here. Its now Sunday afternoon and they haven't got to me yet. Maybe dispatch knew the shop was busy.

How do I see companies advertising $1.05/mi for owner operators? Doesn't it cost that much just to operate a truck? What's the catch?

The catch is that the o/o pays all the expenses, so while he may gross $1/mile, he only gets like $200 at the end of the week. If a broker offered me a load for that price i would hang up.

I guess I should have just called and ask a recruiter if I wanted an actual answer

Was it a lease? There has to be more to it.

Kek. You can always get the CDL in your free time and have it just in case you are sick of sitting at a computer all day. But you should also stop doing drugs.

Plus fuel surcharge but it still not much money.

It just says "owner operators make $1.05 per mile, fuel surcharge paid based on DOE" doesn't mention leasing

He gave you an actual answer, you fucking retard. It isn't his responsibility to ensure that it's slanted to the bias you desire or that it's mushed up enough for your busriding, babyesque brain to digest it.

You're right he did technically give me an answer, just a stupid and wrong one. I should've specified.

>my parents have preconceived notions of the kind of person I'm supposed to be, so I owe it to them to live up to them and be miserable for the rest of my life

I hope you wake up one day

The shop is always busy.
