[QUOTE="Czar_Zero, post: 11397625, member: 213689"]OP, There's some threads here that when/if you can find the time (and you should) that are worth reading regarding taking the step to become an O/O. Since you mention Landstar, have a gander at: [URL='https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/the-journey-begins-purchased-a-truck.268615/']The journey begins - purchased a truck.[/URL] Long read, worth the time. Another long thread, again worth the read from someone who went independent after being a company driver. [URL='https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/double-yellows-company-driver-to-independent-thread.265975/']Double Yellow's Company Driver to Independent Thread[/URL] Do what you want with the information contained in both of those multi-chapter novels. There's members here who also contract to companies like Schneider and USA Truck, do a forum search and you might find them. Post questions in the Schneider or USA Truck sub forums and see if you get any hits on what its like to run for those companies. Or browse to find information already posted. Lot of material to read here if you put in the time to look for it. Getting into pissing contests with some of the less than helpful members here isn't going to get you anywhere other than frustrated.[/QUOTE]
