What do owner operators want today?

A nice facility, percentage pay, freedom to choose loads, fuel and tire discounts, minimal paperwork, to name a few. An organization called NASTC might have some good resources for you. They do have a modest annual fee, but they're friendly and will be happy to answer some preliminary question so you can see if it's a good fit.

 

I personally like to see the gals in the office show some leg.

 

Same thing as yesterday. More money. Already have a home and a family.

 

Since you operate in Europe, the opertunity to drive there. If you have an office, staff that answer the phone and operate well under pressure in an emergency situation. Pays when the paperwork is turned in, Paper LOGs, Non forced dispatch. The highest Rates, best Agents. An office in Chicago.

 

#1 thing for owner op is probably going to be consistently good high paying loads, followed closely by consistent preplanned loads. Those two together make us money.
Nothing is more demotivating than delivering and having to wait 4 hours before you find the next load.

You will find quite a few people here are not happy hearing broken english when they call the office. So whoever is answering the phones NEEDS to have a good command of the english language. (Or whatever language the driver speaks) it will make explaining things much easier

Full transparency on how a load is making them money if the load doesnt seem to make sense from the start

 

Yup I forgot that part. Office staff that is informative, proactive, and functional. Save the mind games for the tavern after work.

 

Roflmao...

 

Make a ton of money while being able to stay home and polish chrome whenever I want. It’s not easy looking this good.

 

I’d start with not having anyone with an Eastern European accent talk on the phone to the drivers.
There’s just so so many super sketchy former Soviet communist Slavic that cheat the owner operators , that most just assume when they hear the accent , their paycheck is going to come up short.
