I am getting my own authority with plans on running power only loads. I do not care about getting home as I am single without children and I will be selling my house when I am fully able to make the leap. I will have a free-ish base I can stay at every once in a while as well. I am looking for advice on how to make myself as versatile as possible to help finding loads through load boards. I have all endorsements possible but I will not be able to afford hazmat insurance to start with despite having most of my trucking experience as a fuel hauler.
Also, what things should i carry with me as a power only O/O?

Reason is that I will stopping for my "hometime" in various areas of the country and I believe having a trailer will severely limit my ability to do that.
-
I do realize that I won't make the best money doing it this way but I want to be able to stop in Wyoming for a week to sled or stop in AZ for a week to golf etc.
I'm looking for a place to start my base of operations after a few years of power only.
Or educate me now and help me come up with a better planLast edited: Sep 8, 2020

PO is such a hassle, there are always problems with trailers, scheduling, etc.. Get your own trailer, you will make more money and have less stress in your life
Dino soar, bad-luck, MadX and 1 other person Thank this. -
In your opinion, what trailer type should I get if I do go that route? Flatbed?
