how do I become an O/O

Grab your favorite blanket, a hot cup of tea, snuggle up and read away.

When you finish that thread read this one also http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...-operator/13608-so-you-want-own-your-own.html

 

After that, grab your funny book, draw some li(n)es, and go get back in the company truck. I'm just kidding... but it is daunting. A LOT to learn and hundreds of ways to lose your a55, but I wouldn't have done it any other way. Good luck!

 

Strap a mattress to your back.

If you are asking about how to buy a truck - decide what you want for your needs and buy one- if you have good credit you can probly get a loan.

If you are asking how to become an o/o there are a couple ways -
1- join OOIDA and they will do it all for you.
2. Do it yourself ---LOTS OF WORK - but it can be done.
3. If you want to take the less stress route then there are many , many companies you can lease on to with your truck - all have pros and cons - ie: where you live, where you want to run, to you want to self dispatch or be told where and when to go, and finally what you want to haul -reefer,van tanker, opendeck etc.

 

This is far too much like hard work. Signing a LP agreement is the preferred method.
