Rookie question

www.OOIDA.com

This is a business website for the owner-operator and small fleet owner.

 

Heres another useful site that @Chinatown and @pattyj highly recommend.

https://www.uber.com

 

how much did Chinatown pay you to say that?

 

Uber actually would be a good way for someone young to get some experience on running your own vehicle, calculating expenses, breaking things down to CPM, learning how to maximize profits and you get to do this all with little risk.

I have ran the numbers for Uber and it is basically a minimum wage job for most, especially if you are trying to do it full time. There are a handful of locations where it can be a good PT gig with the right vehicle. There are several class action lawsuits against Uber right now saying they don't pay even minimum wage etc.....

If Lyft is available in your area, you will make more money per mile since their app is setup for drivers to receive tips (Uber is very anti tip), but they are usually not as busy compared to Uber so you won't make as much per hour.

Most drivers run for both Uber and Lyft at the same time.

Like a lot of IC type work, most people don't count all expenses and are clueless that they are incurring expenses they haven't paid for yet. They have some cash flow coming in so think they are making $$$$$$

 

You really need to learn at least a little about the business first.

What is a FLOAT OF TRUCKING HAULERS??? Driving may not be a necessity but knowledge surely is.

 

Thats for me to know and you to find out.

X2??
Ok... where to start....Giving you a straight answer, Yes You can.But its tougher these days.

 

I'm sure they mean fleet. But to the OP get your CDL drive someone else's truck for 1-3 years then go forward with your plan. Your still young you won't miss anything

 

I would say the first step is being able to recognize the difference between a "fleet" and a "float" and/or the ability to proof read.
