Owner operator blog?

I don't want too step on any toes here With the forum, but I'm curious if any owner operators would be interested in starting a blog with me? Could be about giving advice,a real incite to being an owner operator, talking about gadgets and things yay help you do your job better etc.

I've only been an o/o about a month, and the forum has been a great tool for me, I've been thinking about starting a blog to document my experience and talk about anything I feel, just curious if anyone else would be interested in reading or writing.

I already have internet space for many other things I do (business website, personal website, personal/business email,etc) so it's just a matter of setting it up, was just curious about getting input.

Thanks

 

Allot of the things you mention are actually the reasons I want to do this; as far as running the blog that's no issue. Before driving truck I ran a rather successful one on home improvement documenting the house I lived in and was fixing up. When I started driving the improvements became few and far between, and eventually shut it down. That's what inspired me to do this one.

I'm not new to OTR, but I am new to o/o and that's my main topic, to document my journey and encourage/discourage others that may want to travel this road, but aren't sure yet. I talked to probably 100 owners before I pulled the trigger, and everyone had their own opinion. I found many saying if they could do it again they wouldn't, but also noticed the reasoning they all had was similar; it's too much work.

I simply want to document my journey so anyone can go and see what I endured from the very beginning and use that to make their decision easier.

That brings up the next point; I was seeing if others would be interested in joining me. The more honest opinions and good stories the better. Others wouldn't have to tell all from the day they signed the papers obviously, but they could give their opinion and show what they personally deal with. More content always means more reason to follow, as long as it's good content, obviously.

Thank you also for the examples. In my searching I found a few of the bad variety, and honestly figured their could be better content out there, i just couldn't find it, so again thank you for that.

 

Thanks for the name props; it originated from an old Chevrolet pickup I was working on, I told people wherever it got done it would terrorize the streets, unfortunately life happened and the truck didn't. Many years later here I am holding onto the name and I quickly realized this semi fits the bill, let's just say with the kitty cat under this hood I haven't been passed on a hill yet

I think I may go ahead with this even if it's alone. Others may come along later, or not. One big thing I'm interested in that wasn't available for my last blog is podcasts. Especially in this industry it's often easier to listen than read; I'd like to offer both.

 

I've already written a few posts, and the other day I set up a blog on my personal web space, I've uploaded a few posts but finding the time to retype them has been tough.

If either of you, or anyone else wants to take a look shoot me a PM, I'm not throwing my personal website on here, lol
