    You’ll change your mind. Lots of new drivers wanna eventually be owner operators and after some research find out that it’s not worth it long term. Best find a good company with benefits invest and save and I bet you’ll end up better than most owner operators. Do it for the freedom not the money. If you don’t change your mind.

    Well yeah you choose where you want to go when you go home however don’t forget you have bills to pay so you still have to run and make the best decisions for your business as in what loads to take man I’d love Cali to Florida loads all winter long however they don’t pay great. I’m not an owner operator yet considering it but I don’t know yet

    There's more smart ##### on here than there is people just trying to help a fellow trucker, personally I think most of those snide comments are coming from recruiters and other people who don't know crap about truckers

    I’m with Allbound carrier. Totally pick your own loads. They dont force you to use their loadboard. I work with few brokers that I worked with for the last 8 years. They pay 88%.
