What problems do Owner Operators regularly run into?

Too vague question.
Different operators run different freight in different ways.
Some are leased to the mega carriers, some are leased to smaller companies, some are on their own.
Then you get into the loads etc.
Container, van, reefer, flatbed, stepdeck, tanker, rgn, blade trailer, the list is near endless.
One guy/gal can pull a certain trailer but haul totally different loads with it than the next person.
I pull RGN's and blade trailers. Summertime is either the windmill blades or 14' wide combines, winter time is general oversize rgn stuff.
I guess one thing that all folks who buy their own truck and dont fall for a flease deal through a carrier could agree on, is too much government interference in general. Be it by state or federal.
Then of course the price of fuel, insurance, repairs, taxes, blah blah blah

OOs experience all the problems that other small business owners do and all the problems that truckers face as well.

 

research for who and for what reason?

 

There's a never ending supply of people all wanting something for nothing, and also owner operators happily lining up and providing it for them. So my biggest gripe would be that, really the trucks have all the leverage but very few of them exercise it. This is a big problem.

 

Fixed it for you.

Make an app that will cloak my truck as I roll by ports of entry, please.

 

Make an app that will have LEO's equally harass 4wheelers

 

How bout an app that will link to a shippers bank account so we don't have to worry about collecting detention? But that app would be nice too...along with visions idea.
