Just meet me at Joe's bar and grill. Your buying and we will just GIVE you a basic business plan. Complete with all the names, places, models, prices,quantities,and all the contacts you will ever need.

 

What he means is, owner-operators don't share information on where the money is. Don't want to make the slices of pie any smaller.

 

You'll get a lot of good information on here about how to fix your truck, maintain same, what it might be best not to do, what some options might be that you could do. What you won't get is a silver platter with all the contacts, freight rates and/or best freight.

Hang around for a while, become 'known', show you're working towards your goal...you might get more than you've just gotten.

Lots of folks come and go here. Most want everything handed to them. As professionals, we eschew the entitlement mentality. You still have to do the lion's share even though there's a CDL in your pocket.
