Company Questions

12 months, Team, CDL-A, Orlando, FL, lease Purchase, I just didn't make the money I thought I was going to make doing lease owner operator. I couldn't cover my expenses at home to operate as a solo driver at the time. I went through two companies trying to make it work but unfortunately after all the work the lease payments were just too much. As a professional truck driver, my role extends far beyond simply operating a vehicle I am a crucial link in the supply chain, responsible for transporting everything from fresh produce and medical supplies to raw materials that  keep businesses and communities functioning across the country. My work demands independence and resilience, as I am tasked with managing my time and schedule while on the road, often for long hours and distances.
