How many owner operators could really afford to do this?
I honestly don’t know. Not very many probably. Most are very small operations. You have to stay out there for weeks at a time if you want to make really good money. My husband is 54 and has been a trucker since he got out of the army in 1992. He said he did his time and is only out from Monday til Friday night or Saturday morning now. We met 3 years ago and just got married 6 months ago so I don’t want him gone for weeks. He still makes decent money but.. That said, I don’t see how many drivers or owner/ operators can afford to do this but I wish them Godspeed and support them.
