Yeah, I see that in my previous post it could be read that I was an owner/operator when I am in fact a company driver. Sorry if I confused anybody. What I was trying to say is that there are some very poor companies for owner/operators and also some very good paying companies. Very much the same choice as a company driver has when he starts somewhere new.
I think a owner/operator would take home roughly twice as much as a company driver, which is about right for the extra input they have to make. Two years ago, I had enough to buy a new truck but I bought a rental property instead. It provides extra income and has increased in value by nearly 20%. When I’ve saved up enough money to buy a truck again; I’ll think I’ll buy another house.
