Part time otr owner operator

Part time driving still requires full time authority, permits, taxes, and insurance most of all. So as a new business and a new driver. Plan to spend around $2-3k per month while truck sits. So in turn. No. You will be broke before you even get your first payment from a broker. 30 days usually btw

 

Just so you have an idea how much you will be paying for your part time insurance, call several agents and ask how much your annual premium will cost. Seriously, ....call

 

We already have enough tourist on the road, buy a rv and stRt a rv guide tour of USA,more fun and more money

 

Got this off the Penske site:

Can I tow my own trailer behind a Penske truck?
No. For liability reasons and your safety, we do not allow customers to tow any non-Penske owned equipment behind our trucks.

 

You have 2 have operating authority. Dot and mc numbers. Ifta sticker(fuel tax), 2290 heavy use tax, and your truck registered 4 every state your first year. Plus the fact that even if you went and did everything correctly. Still aren't guaranteed 2 even get a decent load because your authority is new and some people won't deal with you period. Being honest there is no way 2 make this work. Not at all. Wouldn't even recommend this route if you were going full time. You need 2 get a cdl and drive 4 a company 4 a year or 4 and learn the business, the rules, and then decide. It's a tough trade business wise, much less you have the responsibility of a 80k vehicle which once mistake kills. Not just a fender bender

 

It's not going to work...there is way to make it work unless you are very wealthy. It costs way to much to have a truck sitting around doing nothing.
