Is it worth it, finanically speaking, to O/O...???

You will know you are on the road to success, its up hill all the way. Paul Harvey

 

What he said x 1,000.

I've never been a company driver. 2012 was my 6th year as a Motor Carrier For Hire and each year I seem to be able to cull the broker herd a little more and have been lucky enough to find some fairly good brokers that are moving time sensitive oversize freight and it pays well. Not for everyone, but a niche in time saves nine.

 

12-18 months as an company driver thnn jumping to o/o is a risk

 

yes it is

as a matter of fact, 20yrs as a company driver is a risk to go O/O, that would be 20yrs of a mentality he would have to completely change

 

Indeed. But even with that in mind, which one do you think the odds would favor?

 

To be fair and honest, a company driver makes more than me. The advantage i got is i can take time off whenever i want.

 

Touched my old heart. No Son, being an O/O is a real bad idea, if your in it for money. I just like drivin' & choosing where I go. I do it for love. I make about 2000.00 a week take in the house money. In MY truck, or in the house, I'm still home

 

A company driver.........? Im 32 years my own truck. 20 years as a contract carrier.. You cant drive an truck any more as an O/O... You have to drive a business with a truck

 

my father taught me, it is better to be a poor free man, than a rich slave


billie holiday used to sing a song, God bless the child that's got his own

i still believe that
