Longer term view is to own a rig and be in business.
I need a lot of advise.
Thanks for accepting me into the forum.
Welcome, Charles~!!
Keep the 'short term' views in sight before thinking of O/O, and start here, if you haven't already:
If you go 'top to bottom' accordingly, this will help immensely. If you choose to 'skip around' as I often do, start with Brett's Book. It's free to read, right here.
When you dig through all that, or even PRIOR, the veterans of this site will be available to answer ANY and ALL questions, along the way!!
Best wishes, and again... .WELCOME TO TT~!

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
First things first take advantage of High Road CDL Training Program to get your permit. We strongly feel Paid CDL Training Programs are the best way to enter the industry, you can even Apply For Paid CDL Training right here on this website. You fill out 1 application and its sent to many different companies. When you're accepted into their program you're guaranteed a job if you successfully obtain your CDL. Private schools will help anyone with money get their license even if they're unlikely to be hired due to criminal or driving record issues.
We have a couple O/O on this forum but an overwhelming majority of us are company drivers. Many experienced drivers here make over 70k or more a year without the stress of running a business. My advice is to focus on getting your license and putting it ATLEAST a solid year as a company driver before even considering O/O. Most rookies make mistakes. Make those on the companies dime, learn freight lanes, track the expenses such as fuel and maintenance then decide if you want to go that route. Nearly all of us have decided that staying a company driver is the best way financially.
