The road to becoming an Owner Operator with own authority.

A lot of newbies wish to become their own boss and drive when and where they want to. Answering to no one except a long line of creditors. Here is how I made that dream, or nightmare, come true.

Went to prison. Got out on Parole. Told by parole officer find a job, don't leave state.

Sc rew that, I will be an over the road trucker.

Went to trucking school. Fort Scott Community College in Kansas Ctiy, KS. $2500. Top graduate. No job offers.

Hire by a temp agency to work for a company delivering shingles. 1 week.

Took road test for Fed Ex. Not hired because of "Criminal" background. Later reversed.

Hired by Keystone Automotive Operations. Team driver. Fired

Hired by Design Transport Fired 2 weeks.

Hired by ACT local driver. Fired

Hired by Transport America 3 days Fired

Hired by JVT. Engine blew, Fired.

Hired by Henson Trucking. Destroyed a Pete 379 and a trailer. Sued State of Oklahoma. Won suit. Fired

Hired by CJS. Fired

Hired by Fastenal.....It appears you can't ask a female to go fix you a sandwich there....fired.

Hired by K&B. Fired.

Bought truck. Got own authority. Now try to fire me.

 

It seems I was not a natural truck driver. Lots of trees, signs, and light poles paid a high price for my education.
