New owner operator/No experience

I grew up around and on trucks. My father was a truck driver for 44 years, owner operator for 35 of those years. Trucking is just in my blood. I love to travel. This is the perfect job for me. I went to college, got a desk job and hated it.

 

I see. Are going to lease on to an established company or get your own authority?

 

Did anyone mention temp control hazmat?

 

Why would you consider an LLC?

I wouldn't do that, there is no protection and the tax advantages are less than a regular corp.

 

Being as tho I have no experience and no one has given me a company that'll take me with no experience in going to have to go my own authority route

 

What do you mean by no protection? And what are the tax advantages that you speak of?

 

There's lots of company's that take new Drivers , just don't know any that take new O/O with no experience.

I don't know if you checked with insurance company's for rates ( I would have checked before buyingvthe truck) but if it was me I would make that my next step.
You might have to do what Vic suggested or might have to hire a experienced driver to run team with.

 

Yes I understand. I checked everything out beforehand. My current insurance company that I have auto insurance with now is willing to insure my truck and trailer straight out of school. I have to be established 2 years before I can switch over to OOIDA.

 

My instructor mentioned Temp controlled Hazmat but no one on the forum has

 

This time of year protect from freezing chemicals have been paying decent for a buddy of mine with LS that bought an older truck and reefer last year.
