I would like to become an owner operator but I have no experience. I would like to purchase a tractor trailer and hire someone with experience to drive my truck. I currently have another full time job so this will be a side business for me. Any advise on keys things I need to look out for and the best way to start my business? Thanks in advance.

So basically you want to buy a truck, get someone to drive it, take a cut of the profit, and do nothing else?

I can't even start to comment without being excessively sarcastic. I tried several times, and had to delete it. In short, I can't even.

No experience and doing this as a side business? I realize some people can be more business savvy than others, you may be one of those people, but it will be a headache for sure. One truck, trailer, driver, leasing on or own authority? Your cut won't even be worth the effort and the headaches.
