Future O/O questions

ghostrider747, I'll echo Brickmans Thanks for your Service.

And I'll also say the same about getting some experience first, it'll help you in the long run.

I've driven for 4 years, but I had at least a 7 year break, so before I go into an O/O I'm planning on or going to try get back on with a company for least a year. to have current experience.

I can not tell you the cost my self but hopefully someone will come along and answer that one, I'm curious also.

Good Luck in your venture.

 

With 0 exp I don't think you could find it at any price.

 

Go get your experience as a company driver for one of the larger outfits, i.e. Schneider, Werner, Willis Shaw, and basically ANYONE BUT SWIFT!!!!!!!

Still do your research, work out a Business Plan, SAVE some cash. And before you know it, you'll have the experience you need ( maybe ) to bump it up to the next level.

Good Luck,
CBT

 

I have read where some 0 experience newbie starting O/O right off did find it, but they did have to search hard to find one that would allow them to go past a certain miles radius. If I find the post, I'll post more information for you. I do remember it was expensive. Prograssive(sp) I think will insure you, but limits you to a 300 mile radius if no experense.

 

You can do good hauling logs but you gota hump. My wifes uncle ownes a good sized logging co in east TX and basicly everyone in the family ownes a logging truck they lease to him.

 

Why is it that a new driver with no violations and fresh out of an independent driving school has no problems with a company getting him insured, like Swift, Hunt, Roehl, but can't get insurance as an o/o?
