Anyone want to give me an idea on how to get into my own truck and start hauling OTR as a Owner/Operator? I've always hauled locally and been an hourly/commission driver for companies around here. I found a truck I would like to try and get, but I have no clue as to where to go/what to do to get started.

Oh, I can imagine, the steppin' and fetchin' really gets underway then!!!LOL

It has to be quite a sinking feeling, let alone the embarrassment and cost, at your expense. I just hope I don't get that feeling when I'm offroad!:doh:

Always keeping our eye out for good class A and some good B drivers :D

If I manage to make it out towards Colorado in the near future I'll get ahold of you, Loved it when I was out there before (spent my weekends down there out at tech) Wouldn't mind heading back out there again for a change of scenery :D
