It is a great idea to become an owner operator.However,to take the decision on becoming an owner operator,make sure that you have answered the following questions very truthfully:

>> How hard can you drive? How focused are you in meeting your commitments and maximizing your earning potential?

>> Does a week end mean it has to be spent at the home base regardless of anything?

>> Will your family be able to support you in your venture and live without your presence for long intervals?

>> Are you healthy enough to be trucking on your own?

>> Does your spouse's insurance plan cover you in case of need? Can you survive without an employer-sponsored health insurance?
