After talking to some drivers over the weekend it seems many have different reasons for becoming a owner operator, when I told them my reasons they just looked at me crazy so what's your number one reason?
so why do you want to be an owner operator?

Making my own decisions, nobody to blame but me if everything goes wrong.
damutt Thanks this. -
Im business minded and i like the small details Id rather control all that and have the pride of saying this is mine rather than just going where a dispatcher says go
-
Pride. To see if I could do it. Being able to make my own decisions and have more say in where, what and when I do it.

My reason in the beginning was I was being run around the clock and my employer could care less about me a his employee.
I also wanted to make more money.
It worked great, a few bumps getting started but I more than tripled what I could earn as a company driver,,plus I got to choose where I went,what I hauled and never had to take any crap from some moron,,
To be an owner operator leased to a company or with your own authority you must be driven,,ambitious and be very business minded. -

To drive a nice truck and do what I want when I want and only have to answer to the customer, the lawman and the IRS.

Pride, revenue potential, freedom of oppression, 'cause they told me I couldn't,
grow potential, and the most important.. the chromewore out Thanks this. -
snowy,i only deal with good paying quality brokers and good shippers they usually call me.
btw an other reason I decide what I haul for,, -
Because I didn't know any better. I was raised by and around self made men. I thought that is what we did, work hard to provide the best for our loved ones. Treat the truck like family cause she works hard for them. Besides no company I know has trucks like mine
