I would certainly suggest driving for a company before heading out on your own with your own authority. You have an accounting/bookkeeping/management degree, so that will make it much much easier to transition to owner operator from company driver. You already understand the business side of things. But trucking is a lifestyle and before investing a ton of your own money, you might want to see if the lifestyle is actually suited to you. I wish you luck. Cheers!

 

Hell yeah! I am a college grad myself. It goes to show, that while a college degree is valuable, it really don't mean that much in the real world. One doesn't go to college to get a job, one only goes to college to broaden their thinking. Broader thinking will help one navigate the world and find the steady money
