Advise on new driver becoming owner operator driver , and jobs

TTR Claassic thread. Pin this to the top.

For insurance to be somewhat reasonable you will need a minimum of 2 years driving experience. Coming here for direction now is a joke right?

 

If you managed to save that much on your own then you definitely know how to manage it. Lease your truck on to a company and get to work, you'll probably make it. Of course you'll get a few lumps along the way.
If you hit the lottery, or inherited, won a law suit or what ever. You better get a driving job and get your feet wet first.

Either way it's a gamble.

 

I am lost, why did it take you 3 or 5 schools to get your license?? Something just does not add up here?

 

If i had 80k in cash the last place id put it would be in trucking, instead of driving for a year why not spend a year studying the stock market or different investments, u could turn that 80k into a quater mill in a year in the stock market very easily,.. That is alot of cash to waste away for something u have no experience in not even as a company driver, theres alot more to this job than just driving and thats just at the company driver level but trying to run a business on top of that would be overwhelming in my honest opinion, but do what ya want.. If truckin is ur thing then why not get ur own numbers and put that 80k to use rather than wasting time with a company who takes 20% or more off the top just to take care of back office stuff..

 

Arent we all........

 

You have family and brothers but yet you come here for the most basic information.

Sure man I got it now.
