Hello fellow Truckers and Truckettes.
A friend and I are looking into teaming after 8 years of company driving between the both of us. We average 2800 miles a week, each of us, solo that is. We have lived together before and no issues.
We were hoping to get into the owner op side of team trucking. Drybox or reefer. We are both still employed and haven't rushed into anything yet. Just doing some recon first.
I'll be honest. I've looked at various information provided and it is all over the place. Anywhere from You will BURN IN A FIERY PIT OF POVERTY to boi i am making 5 hundred bazilllion a year and home everyday.
My question is how feasible is this? Are there any legit ways to accomplish this? Or easing into this? Perhaps a non lethal lease if that exist?
I figure a team should theoretically have a higher chance of success. I am willing to take the bulk of the risk being I have no family, car, kids, house, or bills to take care of. Very little debt (1 grand to keep credit active) average credit (650). It's low do to a business venture that covid so kindly ended for me.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on it if you have the time.

Not sure if your religious prayer would be where I would start. Church and trucking are hard things to do together sometimes.
Get involved with community.
Network with people or catch up with old ties. Especially family and friends who are looked down upon. Not everyone is doing well and a little of your time could go a long way for them.
Working out in a gym. I miss that doing otr.
Knock out a cheap certification or degree. Trucking is dangerous. One moment could easily land you looking into a new career. Doesn't hurt to be prepared or atleast primed. Good luck.
