your opinion please... mechanic to owner operator?

how about staying where you. and telling us the location and starting your own business.

cuz a lot of us are looking for a good mechanic that can fix the crap right. the first time.

i mean. going in for a oil leak. and having the same seal replaced 3 times by 3 different kenworths. i'm hoping a plugged crankcase breather was the problem. it seems to be finally drying out.

 

Just remember some companys have a age limit on the tractor and Cali will soon require all tracs and trls to be smart way certified to enter the state if u planned to.

 

Going from a mechanic to a OTR, wow thats like living on earth then moving to the sun.

 

I think it gives you a big leg up on controlling costs. Good companies don't have equipment age restrictions, take that to the bank. Good luck.

Check out Landstar, can't say first hand but all the O-Os I have talked to that are with them are doing well and satisfied, if I ever gave up my own authority, hahaha, thats where I would go.......the other two brands you mentioned ? I would go back to my mechanic biz before that....

 

First off I would keep wrenching like all the others said but I'm sure u won't and you'll find out y we said that on your own lol. Whereabouts are ya from. I run for a good company with good honest people who will keep you moving. You do need your own authority and a wet line on your truck though. We r from south central Pennsylvania
