Hello everyone,
I’m currently an owner operator with my own authority running OTR.
As the kids are almost all out of the house, my wife is getting more interested in getting a CDL and driving.
If she does this, I am considering entering the expedite world. Let go of the tractor and trailer, get a box truck with a custom sleeper. We would literally be living in the truck for a while, most likely selling our house and trying to stack money for retirement.
I’m not real keen on the idea of being a company driver, so I am looking at this with the plan of having my own truck.
I’m not overly fond of the idea of leasing to a carrier, so would like to do this with my own authority. Is that even a common thing in this sector of the industry?
This isn’t happening immediately, or at least that isn’t the plan. To do expedite, I would assume that it would require a team to be effective. I may be wrong. Otherwise, I would consider making this move a little sooner at the solo level until she is able to join me out here.
The solo OTR business sucks right now, as most are probably aware. How are things currently in the world of Expedite freight?
