Hi guys, my dad is/was an owner operator working for his own company untill his truck (Volvo) broke down last week. The mechanic said it will cost about 12-13k to fix it. He does not know what to do as he does not have 13k to put into the truck that might break again tomorrow. I am trying to help him out and trying to see if the best option would be to quit doing this on his own and just find a job at the local company? He has about 8 years OTR experience with no tickets or accidents. He would like to do something locally where he does not have to travel around 48 states and be home once a month. Is this realistic to find a job locally that will pay him at least 50k per year with his experience? Which companies should he look at? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
