I retired 2 years ago after 48 years and 4.5 million accident free miles. I was both a company driver and owner operator with my own authority. I loved owning my truck. I only took loads that went where I wanted to go and that paid enough. I DID NOT haul cheap freight. I may have made a little less money owning my own company, but the lifestyle was great. The key is management of money, truck maintenance, filing DOT reports and keeping good records. If you are a good manager and drive sensibly and take care of your equipment, you can be successful. Buy a good truck that you like and not just what everyone says you should buy. Many of these newer trucks are junk when they come from the factory. My last Peterbilt was 18 years old and had almost 2 million miles when I sold it to my neighbor and he is still running it with no major issues. If you are married, make sure that your wife is comfortable with whatever decision you make. Keep On Trucking.
