riding the pine looking to get into the game

ive been driving trucks for thirty years (straight trucks). everything from logging, black top dumps, road strippers, highway plows,carpet delivery, furniture, and now ive stepped up to semis, 53' vans, p&d mostly no over the road for the last two years. ive worked for chrysler for 11 years while holding down part time driving jobs. i have money put away and would like to have my own truck. what id like to know is it better to be an oo with the co im working for now(central freight) or try to strike it out on my own.

 

thanks for the info . im having a really hard time getting a hold of the recruting dept at the coroporate office, sooo i guess that is a pretty good indication of how they run the oo end of the buisness.
