    I'm a fleet owner currently running under other carriers. Looking to form alliances with other small fleet owners who own at least 3 units or more. The idea is to unite thoughts/ideas to mutually assist our Network of owners. Send me a message if you're interested in participating. I will set something up where we can all join a conference call and begin a network group.

    Please let me know what is preventing you from doing that right here on the forum. Those are the kinds of discussions we want in this community. If a subforums needs to be added or changed to facilitate those discussions I would like to hear it.

    I, for one, am not a small fleet owner (company driver right now), but I would like to hear (or read, rather) discussions of this sort. Long term goal is owning and running at least a couple (hopefully more) trucks, so I look for any opportunity I can get to learn more.

    I've always thought a small fleet owner forum should be added.

    This way things that don't necesarily apply to single o/o like maintenance on vehicles, tires, national accounts for tires. etc.

    It is a little difficult to tell an 0/0 why we invest in quality tires due to the fact that its not just 1 truck we have to worry about. what about recaps? Shudder "oh noes" recaps. /sacasm.

    Freight ideas can also be put forth, but we like to keep this one close to our vests' if you know what I mean. lol

    Ok, that's a good starting point. I've created a survey to help figure out how many small fleet owners we have currently on the owner operator forum, whether it would be useful to have something more indepth. The survey will also measure how private fleet owners would like their forum to be. Survey is here:
