The problem for some is that the lure of the open road tricks them into becoming owner operators before they are ready.
I have been an owner operator for nearly 8 years and I would estimate I am pretty high on the food chain. "Making it" as an owner operator in trucking isn't easy.

I am about to reveal a business consultants trade secret. Most Business Plans don't work. Business Owners either produce a Plan themselves when they launch their business, or pay a consultant to write one for them, but it just ends up, unread and unloved on shelf in a cupboard covered in cobwebs and dust. If you knew that, would you hire that high pr
