hello; ex-owner operator looking to get back in the game.

Hi, BIGMIKE1, Welcome to our Truckers Forum! We hope you enjoy your stay and please read our RULES. We hope to help you and get to know you soon! Thanks, BIGMIKE1!

BIGMIKE1, do you have a question about how to do something? Try our FAQ section or you can PM me or a Moderator (50 posts not required to PM a Mod) to ask a question! Also, you can read through our Truckers Forum Information Center!

 

Welcome to the forum BIGMIKE1! Wish I could do more for you than just welcome you but I'm one of those pesky wannabes. There are many members here that can answer your questions and believe me, they will! Maybe you could post or start a thread in the Owner/Operator sub-forum. These folks are great....stand by!!

 

You can ask members on this thread if you're thinking about doing the same type of work .

Hi Mike, If you get your own authority customers(shippers), & brokers don't care about your experience (they assume you know what you're doing) as long as your not hitting everything you come across they are more concerned on getting the cheapest rates. I'm no outlaw & just trying to help, when you apply for your Auto Liability Ins. give them your overall experience don't tell them you haven't drove for 5 years.

If you're planning on Leasing on with a company I feel your chances are very slim with not driving for 5 years.
