[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 114646, member: 190"] My other half was an owner operator when we met and a few years when we first got married. Ran local most of the time WV to Detroit pulling a coal bucket in the winter, east to west with a pot in the summer. Now granted, his 475 cummings wasn't running stock but the price of fuel caused him to sell the rig. Like Ollie mentioned, his miles per gallon just about turned into gallons oer mile. Unless driving for someone else, an owner operator almost needs to be a rich man to start with. Brother in Law owns a small fleet. It's a good thing his wife has a good job... He was complaining the just the other day that after fuel, tires and taking care of the drivers he just barely made enough to maintence the rigs that week. [/QUOTE]
