I want to be an owner-operator - help

I'd look into hotshotting . There are good opportunities in it and work is picking up . It is possible to stay under 26,000 lbs. GVWR and not need a CDL .

 

Get a little more specific.

Okay, first tip; It's best to start out with alot of money.

 

Do lots of research. You'll need at least 15k and good credit, or up to 30k. This is not a cheap business to get into.

You can also read my thread up to the point I'm at now, it takes while

Also this guy has a current thread going:

I'll tell you first off that you will need capital. Remember that being an O/O is more than just being a driver.You're a business and need to run it as such. What kind of freight are you looking to move and what type of runs interest you.

 

Are we do deduce from your username that you are a Latin woman?

I don't think you'll find an O/O partner. They don't have a real good reason to do it. Plus it's messy.

You can't go by thinking someone dumber is doing it. If they're doing it then they know what they're doing, and you'll have to as well. IF you don't know then find out. You don't need to know it all, but you do need to know what to do next. This is not specific to trucking.
