I would like to become an owner operator but I have no experience. I would like to purchase a tractor trailer and hire someone with experience to drive my truck. I currently have another full time job so this will be a side business for me. Any advise on keys things I need to look out for and the best way to start my business? Thanks in advance.

So basically you want to buy a truck, get someone to drive it, take a cut of the profit, and do nothing else?
This has to be a troll.aaronpeterbilt3787, Diesel Dave, pavrom and 5 others Thank this. -
I can't even start to comment without being excessively sarcastic. I tried several times, and had to delete it. In short, I can't even.

No experience and doing this as a side business? I realize some people can be more business savvy than others, you may be one of those people, but it will be a headache for sure. One truck, trailer, driver, leasing on or own authority? Your cut won't even be worth the effort and the headaches.

These threads are all too common. With all the "moderation" around here I wonder why they even allow these posts to continue.Speed_Drums, Socal Xpress, Diesel Dave and 3 others Thank this.

LOL, I'm thinking about buying a 747, starting my own airline, but I have zero aviation experience. I figure I'll hire 2 pilots, some flight attendants, and continue working my day job and just rake it in.

Ahhh yea! You must be a owner operator that has to drive his/her own truck . If I have the money and capable of doing this why not? It’s called running a business and trying to become successful at it.
