[QUOTE="TripleSix, post: 5520412, member: 28058"]Don't just read, TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. Do you know the names of decent owner operator companies? Ask this forum for some recommendations, okay? NEXT, go to a full service truckstop and look for them. Invite the person in and sit at the lunch counter. "Why the lunch counter, Six?" Because if the guy spins you a tall tale, there will be a room full of drivers that will loudly call BS. If he's solid, others will just nod in agreement. Most owner ops will give you the shirt off their backs to see you successful. Take what you learn, come back here and share it with us. Sound like a plan?[/QUOTE]
