Being an Owner-Operator
- the life of the open road
- own your own truck
- be your own boss
Being an owner-operator is much more difficult that simply being a truck driver. When you own your own truck, you are in charge of all upkeep of your truck. You are in charge of buying fuel. You are in charge of all payments to keep you on the road. This can prove to be quite expensive.
Because you don’t just have a job, you have your own business, you also have to pay for many things that normally a carrier would pay for: health coverage, dental coverage, truck insurance, life insurance, workman’s compensation, etc.
Being an owner-operator is a very involved business, far more so than driving a truck. If you want to become an owner-operator, the most important thing is: be prepared. Before you make the step into the world of owning and operating your own truck, make sure that you know what you’re doing. You might be a great driver, but in order to succeed you also have to be a good businessman.
