    My advice is this...if you have to ask that question, most likely you're not ready to be running under your own authority. If you're buying a truck, lease on somewhere and learn the ropes of being an O/O first. Just sayin...

    Thanks. ..I have bn o/o for two years ,hv 2 trucks running under company authorities. I am getting paid 1.40/mile. When I talk to people everybody gives vague advice. From what I have calculated $1.80-1.90 is where I can make it under my own authorities. But that is my opinion. .I need someone who can second that. I want something concrete about it. Someone who is already doing it and is willing to share the information.
    -should I buy new trailer or used and how old
    - I am in Toronto so which corridor is best..stay n Canada or cross border.
    All these questions cannot b known driving as o/o for a company.I am giving myself one 6 months before jumping in.
