Coming home solder wants to know if it is still possible to Be an O/O

First off ...... THANK YOU...... I mean that whole heartedly Staff Sergeant.

In answer to your question starting off as an owner op is very difficult. There are a lot of pitfalls to look for. Think of an owner op as going thru a hot lz. there are a lot of land mines and snipers sarge. If you are set on going that route hooking up with a company like dart etc.. would be the safest way to go about it.
Do your homework and cover your rear on all accounts. Be safe Sarge and once again from the bottom of my heart and soul THANK YOU

Based on what I'm reading. You've got things under control at the moment. Payment etc etc.

If you can hold for a short while, after you get home. IE Let it sit for a few more months. You should be okay.

Last year we skimmed some of the weaker companies off. This year, we'll cut a bit deeper. Once the playing field settles. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to make a decent living.

Patience is what you need right now.

 

I too want to thank you for your service. What you guys do is ultimately the most important job of any American. Thank You!

The way I look at it is that I can't do anything about the economy. Someone else screwed that up. All I can do is make my decisions based on what circumstances face me on a daily basis. I have to be smart, not only when times are bad, but when times are good. I don't buy chicken lights, get my rims polished, rent lizzards, gamble or do anything that is going to jeopardize my family's financial well being. Again, that is not just during the bad times but the good times as well. That is how I intend to weather the storm this time, just like I did last time. Make good decisions, pick the right loads, don't throw my money away on things in the Chrome shop that will not produce income and get home to a wife who loves her trucker. I am not getting rich right now, but I am being patient and getting good loads now and then. I'm not going home much right now, but I will eventually as things start to straighten up, and it will. My opinion is get your butt home safely, spend some time with your family, get your truck ready to go and follow your dream. Be flexible, be honest, be safe.

 

Sgt.
