POSITIVE How to become a owner operator

[slpwlker]

Might talk to the guy and see if HE will hire you. Perhaps he'd even be willing to sell his business to you eventually once you learn the ins & outs of it....start out by driving for a year or so to get out and meet customers & such, then transition to the office to start assuming more & more "responsibility". Then, once you know how both ends of the operation work, start making payments to the guy and he can retire. If his kids don't want it, it's going to put more into his pocket in the long run as a running operation than it would by simply liquidating the assets and selling out. Or if he'd prefer to simply liquidate, see if he'd be willing to keep the business going long enough for you to learn the ropes and secure sufficient financing for the buyout.

Good info

Always wanted to become a owner operator out here in nyc but scared to buy a truck and cant find the work. Looking to get into the rri axle dump game any feedback will be appreciated

I'm looking at the same thing. Allentown pa region. People always talk me down. But go for it! You can run NY and NEPA. money IS there. Get a cheaper truck. Steel body and a triaxle are what company's are looking for. Going rate is $75 an hour. 7 working months and that's right around 100k gross. Take out a truck payment, insurance, taxes, fuel, Maintenance and your at 40-50k net. Call big hauling companies, they are always looking for subs. Most require 3 years experience in hauling and or paving. Mostly paid once per month. So have some $$$ before hand while waiting for that first check.
