How to Become an Owner Operator? Engines, Companies, Pay, Maintenance, Savings, & More...

Switching from Company Truck Driver to Owner Operator is a big decision. How much money do you need to save? What truck and trailer should you buy? What is the best semi truck engine? Should you do a lease purchase or buy your equipment? What motor carrier should you lease your equipment on to? Should you get your own operating authority? For a lot of drivers, staying a company driver is the best decision. For others, it might make sense to buy your own truck and trailer. In this video, I cover all of the major questions company drivers have when deciding to become an owner operator. 00:50 Owner Operator vs Company Driver? 02:47 How much money do you need to become an Owner Operator? 07:37 Plan for Worst Case Scenarios 09:15 Lease purchase vs Owner Operator 09:40 Pay Structure: Fixed Rate Per Mile vs Percentage? 12:29 Trucking companies for Owner Operators 14:05 How to Finance a Semi Truck? 14:40 Best Truck Engines for Owner Operators 17:08 Least Risky Way to Become an Owner Operator 19:14 Dry Van vs Flat / Step Deck?
