I have been considering this for some time, when I was OTR I
questioned all of the O/O I could to get a feel for it.

I do have a basic plan, get rid of all my debts and for the 1st
year of operation I will pretty much be living out of my truck.
I am single and have no dependents to worry about.

I plan on getting a tractor as new as I can afford with low mileage
if I can find it. Then I plan on having an APU installed for comfort
and to save on wear and tear and fuel costs.

I will be working out of CA, around San Bernardino/Fontana.

I have good credit, I do not like forced dispatch and I have all
endorsements on my license. I do not want to run in snow if possible

a basic plan to get rid of debt?? plans to get rid of debt often fail. but very good to keep as a goal. as far as dependents.. I have 6 & have far more than I did when I had none. as far as a APU. how long will it take you to recoup your investment ? it may not be worth it. not running in snow? I know what you mean. I hate it too. but I did run from al to grand rapids mi for a couple years & I would run between the big snow falls & after the roads were cleared. in & out as quick as i can. made good money too. what applies to other o/o's or works for them may not or will not work for you in some cases. my best advice is.... dont think you have to have an expensive chromed out truck to make it. a $40,000 truck can leave you on the side of the road just as fast as a less expensive truck. good luck
