The road to becoming an Owner Operator with own authority.

How long did it take to become an 0/0?

 

I'd like to know a little more about the "destroyed 379 Pete and trailer, sued state of Oklahoma and won" comment.

 

That's quite a track record Wooly Rhino. I take it most of those terminations were because of accidents and incidents? Besides turning up the speed limiter on the leased Hirschbach tractor and the shipper who complained to K&B about a joke you made.

 

Lol. That'll teach'em to get your way next time.

 

That makes 2 of us.

 

Dead serious here....much respect for your drive and not quitting when it got tough.

hats off to you.

 

Did you begin driving differently when you got your own truck? I'm not talking about just not hitting anything, but how you drive in general?

One huge difference I see from driving as a company driver in a big company to what I do now driving a truck for a small time owner, this is a "one trick pony" situation. If the pony dies we got no more tricks. It's not like working for a big carrier that can just saddle up a new pony for you.

 

I would become an O/O if I had the money. Then again if I had money I would buy a small RV and have much more fun touring the country.

 

Much respect to you for sticking to it, but how did you afford to get your own authority and your own truck if you got fired like 37 times previously?

 

Your last profile update shows you leased to Trans Logistics. Being leased on to a company does not equal running under your own authority...
