Partnering to form owner operator

I always found it much easier to make a living for myself, than for two families.
Not sure what or where your 8-,000 figure come from or means, but there is no need for an oo to have to work every day or even every month to make a living.

 

How much experience do you have? Have you ever teamed before?

 

I didn't get the impression he was talking about teaming.

 

Why not just buy the truck and hire a part time driver. Partner-ships don’t float

 

$40K net for each driver? Forget buying a truck. That's the low end of company driver pay. Better off to work for someone else for those wages.

 

Boy,I wish everyone could see this................

If Your going to own a truck,Drive that truck,and take on the huge responsibility of being an interstate carrier..

You Better NET 100k or more per year- Yes,That means 100k in earnings after every expense.

Nobody EVER wants to address this- You are responsible for the general publics safety-You are responsible for keeping your equipment DOT compliant- You are Responsible for providing customer service without fail- You are responsible for paperwork,so on and so on.

Makes me Sick when I see these owner-ops looking like Slobs,Eating Braunschwiger sandwiches,Living in Filthy homes,making 30k after all operating expenses-
Makes the Industrey as a Whole able to get away with Poor rates and wages.
