I'm looking to get into the owner op game. But I need to know if it's worth it right now? Is it profitable? Is it worth lease purchasing? I've heard you should never run for the company you lease from. I was considering checking into leasing a truck from someone like swift with a walk away lease and possibly running for another carrier like GP Transco. They claim to payout 70% revenue. Has anyone heard if they're a good carrier to run for? Sorry for so many questions any advice you can share would be great!
Best Company to Run for? How is GP Transco?

@KayFox--
If you want to try out/learn the owner-op game--but without all the up-front risks/out-of-whack rates that the current market includes, you might wanna consider the following:
USA Truck introduces Drive Your Plan company
Self-Dispatch Program
Choose the loads you want and run where you want to.
To qualify for the program--you need to driver for USA Truck for a year--and rack up a satisfactory record during that time.
To my knowledge--no one else in the industry is currently offering anything similar, for company drivers.
This program is basically sort of a "starter" for owner-op wannabes, and lets you try that world out, without jumping completely into it head first.
