Re: diesel fuel: why isn't it cheaper than gasoline?
That's why I used the term "today". It's whatever we're willing to
pay for it, just like beans, in the movies "Trading Places".

A driver who drives a company owned truck and receives a salary is an
employee. He is not an IC. JB, Schneider, and others own tens of
thousands of tractors and have employees that drive them. The IC's own
(or 'are buying') their tractor. No really big company is all O/O.

I've been trying to tell you, there are NO company owned long haul
trucks. Period! Even with what must fool you, the company logo on there
sides, they're all leased owner/operator! Will you talk any trucker?

You are as so often the case very very very wrong. JB owns a lot of
tractors and trailers. Call 'em up and ask. Schneider the same. Leased
tractors are usually easy to tell because they aren't the same as the
fleet ones. Schneider's are all Century Class Freightliners except a
few Argosys for the beer runs. JB had "the bus" (Navistar cabovers
with setback axle) for a lot of years, I think they are now
conventionals as well.
It's astounding how you can be so wrong...but funny too because in
this case all anyone has to do is pick up the phone and call JB,
Swift, Schneider, CFI, and tell 'em you wanna be a company
driver...they'll tell you all about their tractors in glowing terms
and on their dime. (Schneider is at 1-800-44-PRIDE)
I know a lot of truckers....and I have a current CDL with all
endorsements except passenger (because I haven't taken the second
driver test in a bus.)I drove trucks for years. Some truckers are fine
people and some are total dumbasses, freaks, and *********, same as
any other job.
