    Are there any books/blogs/etc. that you would recommend for a beginner owner operator?

    I'm also interested in expert texts for later "down the road"! Ha! Thank You!

    The best way is to find a mentor or make friends with a couple people who are successful and happy to help. Also realize there’s more than one way to be successful in this business.

    The industry is lacking a thorough explanation of being an owner op. I read a few books and websites but they are all very vague. I wanted the in depth details which I had to learn first hand.
