Statistics prove conclusively that the overwhelming majority of truck driver quit their jobs while at home. So the ridiculously shortsighted corporate "logic" is "if we never send him home then he will never want to quit."
Trying to decide what type of truck to get?

Hauling freight commercially is not like hauling something for yourself. It's not just strap it and go. When you put 48,000 lbs of steel on your deck, you'd better know how to secure it, safely and legally. To see what can happen when someone doesn't, go here...
The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.
Yes you do need to do your homework if you want to run under your own numbers.
And, yes if you buy an older truck, in time you'll have replaced enough parts on it to build a whole new truck. A lot of guys have bought older trucks, spent a couple years working on them, and ended up with some really nice equipment. Bear in mind, since you live in Idaho, you won't be able to go to California with an old truck.
Let's see if @singlescrewshaker will stop in, he could probably give you some good advice.
What you're proposing can and has been done, just make sure you're squared away from day 1.singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -

I'm going to spend some time over the next few days looking into how leasing to a company works.... Maybe give my cousin a call to, I think that is what he does as an owner operator. Leasing on might be a good way to go starting off, as long as I can keep a certain level of control over my time : )Last edited: Mar 26, 2021
