From Independent Owner Operator to Trucking Fleet Owner - The Journey Continues…
For decades now, from my first days in trucking my goals and plans have always been to ultimately become a Fleet Owner.
Now a new chapter begins in my entrepreneurs journey as my company begins hiring on our first leased on Owner Operators.
It’s been a long road to get to this point…and so the trip continues.
The first phase is to add five drivers before the end of this year - then add ten more next year. After that I plan to have one hundred within the next two years after that. Time will tell, as it always does.
At the same time I continue my course creation, training, and publishing business divisions and affiliate marketing too.
It would be easy to not do these things and to just play it safe… but what is the point in that?
No guts - no glory.
The only way to achieve success is to accept the risks… and I do. I do not fear failure, judgement or embarrassment. What I do fear is dying without even having truly tried my all for all I want - and that is not acceptable to me.
When my time is done and I breathe my final breath I will at least know I went for it with everything I had to give - and that I can live and die with happily - win lose or draw.
How about you my friend?
Are you going for your own dreams and goals too?
I hope you are.
Life is short and it is meant to be lived fully.
Until next time, remember to Choose Your Own Course, Build a Better Life!
Best regards,

Good morning LD,
Congratulations on taking that massive step forward, I have to say that I admire you, big time!
I'm not quite sure what Leasedon Owner Operators are. However, I guess it's giving lorry drivers with their own trucks an opportunity to work for you.
I admire you for having the drive to do what you are doing LD! However, I do believe that you have a huge amount of experience and knowledge on the subject. It's also good that you are continuing to write your courses etc, well done.
Wishing you every success in the new venture and a great weekend.

Thanks Roy!
I do appreciate that my friend. And you are correct - that means they can sign a contract to drive under my authority and we both benefit in many ways.
They don't need their own authority (or the complexities or expenses) and in exchange I get a share of the revenue for each load they haul. So it's a win win for both sides - when done right.
Stay tuned my friend - more to come ; )
Best regards,

It's a pleasure, LD! It's great to see that things are happening, big time!
That sounds like a good way to do business, LD, you both benefit.
I guess, like with most businesses, there is always more than meets the eye. Sometimes, rules and regulations can get in the way, but it's great that both sides can win.
I look forward to hearing more.
Have a great day.

Thanks my friend - and it’s both a happy and exhausting process too - but I love it all! Everyday is a blessing and a new opportunity to do better.
Fantastic LD! I can believe it! Well done for stepping out and enjoying the opportunity! That's what I call doing life!
Have a great day.
Roy
Working on it everyday my friend…step by step by step ; )
