Be In A Place Where Others Are Already!

Hi my name is Sveto Apostolovski,

I am new and would like to know if there are any mentors or people who have been in the industry. I am looking for some guidance. I know in life if you have a coach or teacher you will move forward. I had a teacher and was not the best in teaching students. I have my CDL A license, thank god I pushed myself. You get done with school and its's lonely trying to get job or advise. I was a business owner of deli for 22 years and food industry was destroyed in couple months Covid 19. I enjoy the freedom of being your own boss in trucking, If there is any mentors or teachers you recommend, please contact me. I will respect your time and advise. I will build owner operator business and help others grow in there journey. Key is to surround yourself with others that are already there and doing it.

Thank you

Do you have any experience as a truck driver? I highly recommend you get atleast a couple years worth of experience as a company driver before considering owning your own business. Profit margins are extremely small in this industry while the risk of bankruptcy is high. Insurance cost alone will bury you.

In trucking you're left alone for the most part. Many former business owners have said they feel as if they're self employed due to nobody looking over their shoulder. A successful driver will rarely hear from their company other than being told where they're picking up, dropping off and what appointments are. The rest is for you to do as you wish. At the same time help is only a phone call away to resolve all your issues. We have members here making over $80,000 dollars a year without the hassle of running a business. There's even a couple that are around $100,000 a year! Ignore the lies you see advertised about O/O making 250,000 a year. That is before they take into account their expenses. One of our moderators, PJ, is an O/O and said after all expenses he makes about what he did his rookie year. There are some O/O that do much better than a company driver but you typically need to get into a niche market such as super size loads. It takes a long time to be qualified for that.
