    I'll guess you failed at owner operator? Your right.. its not for the faint of heart i guess.. I couldn't go back to being a slave to a fleet manager and company who demands 10,000 min miles a month and gripes if I want more than 3 weeks a year off. I only work 170-180 days a year and make way more than any company driver. But to each their own

    You might also consider remaining in corporate with another company. Just because it sucks where you are, that doesn't mean it will at other companies. Every other small to medium sized trucking company out there is poorly managed. The ones who recognize it are always looking for good help.

    Unfortunately, it is a private fleet delivering our own product and is a not for hire fleet. So profitability of the owner operator side is a bit different, but I get your point if it was a common carrier

    Guy that took over 1/3 of my last managent job just called me while I was waiting to get loaded.

    I WAS having a rough day till I got his phone call. Lol

    Now my day don’t seem bad at all.

    Sucker!

    A bad day of truckin is better than the best day working for someone else.

    That's great! I have a feeling it will take 3 people to do what I have been doing...I am sure I will get the same phone calls. Working on purchasing a truck now
