owner operator questions

not everything but probably 90%. the issue are that the reeer is heavyer then the dry van so you can't haul the real heavy loads and also there is a few inches of insulation in the alls so the interior dimensions are slightly smaller. but most things will fit.

 

I have no Trucking experience other then driving a Fire Truck. Would like to someday
become an o/o. Can you offer any advice as to where do I start?

 

start like everyone else does. go to cdl school and get a few years exp as a company driver

 

are you wanting too jump right in a start by driving your own truck, or are you going to go to work for a starter Co. ?

 

with no previous exp. you will have to start w/ a training Co.

 

I need the exp most defitnetly. A starter company is number one. and then I'll take it from there. Thanks for the info.

 

Thats kind of similar to how I started. But I did go otr with a company for a short while. I don't advise doing it this way though... I have a long post on here somewhere of how I started and why I quit. Which I should have never done.. its been a looong hard road ever since I sold my trucks. Way harder than actually diving in head first to being a OO. It was all luck with me though. A good truck that gave me little trouble is the only reason I was successful. Oh.. and uncle sam reeeaally liked me until I figured out how to do tax write offs.. I paid in a little over $18K on taxes my first year.

 

how'd you kill her? Axe, gun, rope, hammer, ect? Please do tell...

 

I think you almost have the perfect life figured out! Me, I still have the wife and while our oldest is 17, our youngest is 2 1/2, so we're stuck for a while.

Can I live vicariously through you?
