    A trucking business is fleet ownership, owner operator is a single truck.

    Someone will post the best books, I have a bunch to read and laugh at but I have them at the office.

    A lot of good you tube advice. DIY on you tube pretty much explains everything step by step.

    Don’t put yourself in a box. Everyone’s an expert on everything these days. Can’t wait to instruct others, with their newly found knowledge. Most make everything much more complicated than it needs to be. Can’t hurt to gain knowledge. Take it with a grain of salt though. Weed through it, keep it simple.
