No, I'm not an employer. I posted some names in Post #22

 

Finally, someone that takes advice from the experienced drivers!

Like others have said, give it a whirl as a company driver for at least a year. If you jump in feet first buying a truck not knowing anything, it's a very, VERY good chance you'll end up slaving away the rest of your life.

Please, just give it some time before you make a big jump.

 

Never had the desire to be an owner-operator; too much pressure and responsibility.
I like being a company driver; when I'm off there's no stress with truck bills piling up.

 

It is a great start, as a company driver.

How are you at running a business all by yourself?
And how much more time do you want to invest, aside from just doing the loads?

You might have some 14 hour days and have to be up 10 hours later.
As a company driver that time is yours. If you are handling all the little details you may still have a couple hours of planning to do.
