Episode description

What’s the difference between driving as an owner operator or working for a company? We got a lot of questions about this topic, so we did an entire episode about it. Check it out!

 A couple of episodes ago, we started doing a question and answer piece at the end of each episode. Thanks to all of your questions, we decided to do an entire episode about a topic a lot of people were asking us about. Episode 10 is all about the pros and cons of being an owner operator vs. an employee driver.

 For a lot of people, it boils down to something like this:

 “I make $70K+ a year, why should I start my own company?”

 That’s definitely true for some truck drivers, but I don’t think trucking is really all about the money for everyone. In this episode I talk a lot about what being a business owner is all about. I think it really boils down to:

  • Do you have the desire?
  • Do you have the drive?
  • Do you have the skills necessary?
