Instant O/O and Load boards

Is this true?

 

ROb caused MANY of his mechanical problems way back when he started from blatant neglect. I myself and other people tried to stress this too him and he literally laughed it off. So it's hard to feel bad for him. In the end he was doing better and had learned alot but he learned it the hard way and that way was just too costly and he couldn't do it. So be it. good, bad, ?? what's the difference he's unemployed either way

 

It's true.

 

Well as long as you don't come out and tell them you got it x# of years ago and haven't driven since you passed the driving test.

A little implied, but not stated, continual experience is a good thing. Don't outright lie.

I noticed this thread is now a few years old but I am thinking of doing this exact thing. How have things changed for O/O now or lease operators than when this thread was started? I am thinking of buying a new 2013 truck and going to either lease onto a company or become a O/O.

I am fully aware this is not the conventional way of doing things. Money is not a issue in this en devour but I am wondering how much I could make being a O/O or lease operator with basically no experience?

How much does insurance cost? Could I even get insurance with no experience?

How much are the monthly costs of running a truck now a days? I am looking for just basic ballpark answers as I know they will differ from company to company.

 

The question ought to be "how much cash could I burn through if I buy a truck with no experience". You have no experience and you're gonna come out here and make the big bucks? You don't even know if you like driving a truck - now how rediculous is that? Tell you what, send me a check and I promise I'll put that money to good use.

 

I am under no impression that I am going to make the big bucks. I already like driving the truck. I just want to do it in a new truck from the start.

Yes it's not how most people start out but it appears you can make money this way. I am against the O/O thing right now as I just want to drive my own truck for a company and do that.

 

I could go on and on.... Three or four hairbrained posts just like yours pop up weekly. Go drive someone else's truck for a while to make sure you can cut it.

 

I get this is against conventional wisdom. I am just trying to find out if this is a possible route for a new driver.
